seven butterflies
Th-thank goodness that nightmare is over. Chrona, Ryoko, Matty, all of your are safe, aren't you? I should have been being more attentive, but I'm sorry to say I was just scared. Fortunately, I was safe, although I'm still nervous about that threat. If we didn't succeed, what's going to happen to us?
Please, just...don't hurt Chrona and Ryoko. I'll gladly take whatever punishment I'm given, but leave the children alone.

There's...there's something else I should mention to everyone. I thought about whether it was really right to tell all of you something that's personal, but it's for my sister's safety. Do...do you think I'm doing the right thing?
There's a woman here named Iris. She's my twin sister, but our childhood together was...well, I just don't want to talk about it.
She's very dear to me, but...well, she can be strange. She was sent away to a nunnery when we were children for her health, so fortunately I doubt she'll hurt anyone, but please, if she starts behaving oddly, can I please request you to make sure not to upset her? She has bouts of, well, I think it's called paranoia, and can say some very hurtful things, but she doesn't mean a word of it. She has a kind heart, I know it!
Just play along, if it's all possible, and let me know if she's too disruptive? Please?
I'm sorry to have to ask so much of everyone...

I'm sure you're back now. No hard feelings, of course, I'm sure you realize I was only doing what I had to do.
It would be inconvenient, of course, if you made any trouble for me over such a silly little thing. No one has to know about personal business, do they?
If you feel otherwise, ask yourself this: how sure are you that you can always protect that little friend of yours? Don't you think it's possible that at some point, someone could do something to hurt her quite badly no matter how vigilant you are?
It's probably easier for both of us to just handle this like reasonable adults, all right?

It would be very nice if you'd help me keep a close eye on my sweet sister, all right? Here's something interesting, if I remember correctly, she's our friend Mr. Wright's very close friend.
