SOMEONE, PLEASE, HELP! T-THIS IS TERRIBLE. AH...MIA-SAN...MIA-SAN IS...she's dying. She doesn't look that good. I saw her drink something earlier when she came home, a couple minutes later...she...she just collapsed. I think...I think she drank something tainted. And she's the one who tried to warn me and the kids about it too. This is

It's not like she can die, right?

[mr_blandy_bland]

W-Well...this is kind of my first time experiencing something like this!

[hide_break_play]

Just ignore it for a few days, and it should go away on its own.

[mr_blandy_bland]

But...how am I supposed to ignore something like this!

[hide_break_play]

Hard work, guts, and determination.

[mr_blandy_bland]

To look at her having trouble breathing like that....

[hide_break_play]

You people are so fragile. The slighest thing goes wrong and you're having trouble breathing and passing out and dying.

[mr_blandy_bland]

I'm not a person, I'm a country remember. In a way I'm like you. We rarely ever get sick, the only time we do is during epidemics and recessions. If our armies and connections remain strong...we can't really die. I mean, Russia-san did jump out of that plane without anything and he came out of it with broken bones, he was fine again after a couple days.

But...I've seen a lot of things like this, people dying, people looking like they will but then pull through. So this really shouldn't phase me as much as it is.

In other words, you're saying, fairly clearly, that Mia is a special person to you.

[mr_blandy_bland]

T-That's not true...it's just...

[hide_break_play]

It's just what?

[mr_blandy_bland]

I...I don't know.

[hide_break_play]

You're more human-like than you think.

[mr_blandy_bland]

Maybe...

Maybe it's just she was the first person to notice me and not mistake me for America.

[hide_break_play]

I didn't mistake you for America. Does that mean I hold a special place in your heart, too?

[mr_blandy_bland]

I...I don't know.

These feelings are just...confusing.
