Sniping the sixty-ninth target.

Hey, hey, I don't have valentines for everybody! The City sure makes it hard to prepare for holidays right.

I've done what I can to prepare for this, though. Cassagioso isn't open again as a bar yet, but under the authority of the Curse Brigade, it's open as a safe haven for anyone who wants somewhere to take shelter from the cold during

Some people just don't know how to behave like adults, and it gets even worse when they don't know what's going on.

[haroicsacrifice]

That's right. It's got to be at least as much of a shock for some of the visitors as it is for us.

[bluesuitsme]

You can say that again.

[haroicsacrifice]

If it's the same as last time, you'll be back home by the time the weekend's over. So don't worry about it.

[bluesuitsme]

I hope so. Your city isn't always this crowded, is it?

[haroicsacrifice]

There's usually a lot more breathing room!

I'm Lockon, by the way.

[bluesuitsme]

Lieutenant Emma Sheen. I should hope so, or it wouldn't be nice to live in. Although, if I'm correct, none of you want to be here either, do you?

[haroicsacrifice]

Lieutenant, huh...?

Most of us want to go home. But it's not the worst place to be stuck in. I've met a lot of people I never would have at home.

[bluesuitsme]

Yes. Is something wrong?

So this city really is a prison.

[haroicsacrifice]

Nothing's wrong. I'm just used to this place being an escape from things like rank.

But you can see it as a prison.

[bluesuitsme]

I'm not sure I can completely agree with that, to be honest with you.

[haroicsacrifice]

You feel you carry those things with you, huh?

[bluesuitsme]

My responsibilities, yes. I would only throw something like that away if I didn't agree with what it meant. Somebody has to do it.

[haroicsacrifice]

I can understand that. Even if I don't have a rank, I carry my responsibilities here too.

They're a little different sometimes, though.

[bluesuitsme]

Different?

[haroicsacrifice]

Well, I wouldn't be running a bar back home, that's for sure!
