It seems I was more stir-crazy than expected.

Mao, you didn't use up the bandages the last time you crashed into the table, did you? And yes, before you say it, I know it wasn't rational, but you should know me well by now.

... I have some if you need it.

[contractorly]

If it isn't too much trouble?

[letslip]

It really isn't.

[contractorly]

Thank you, Carmine.

...Mm, I've grown far too used to fighting.

[letslip]

We all did.

As much I'm relieved to have a chance at a more peaceful life, there comes times that I...am restless for conflict.

I wonder if I'm the only one.

I really don't think you are.

[contractorly]

Do you?

When I hear things, I turn around expecting to need to kill someone.

When I pass people on the street, I wonder if they'd be capable of killing me.

At night, when I can't hear anything, I wonder if that's because they're quiet when they walk.

... I do, perhaps.

And even here, away from our world, we cannot put our defenses down fully.

After fighting for so long, something inside me still wishes me to raise my blade - a reflex, almost.

... As much as I want a quiet life.

I guess it's just not time for that quite yet.
