Strength is an interesting concept.

Is it mental or physical...and is it achievable in a place like Discedo?

Discedo oppresses a lot of things, but I don't think strength is one of them.

[notmanaging]

But what if you never had it in the first place?

...Hypothetically speaking, of course.

[equite]

If this place doesn't oppress strength, then I don't see why it can't be created.

[notmanaging]

You assume everyone has the ability to create it.

[equite]

I never said it's a one man- or woman- job.

[notmanaging]

So it's a communal effort?

[equite]

Sometimes. People draw strength from different resources.

[notmanaging]

Where do you draw your strength from, Mr. Justice?

[equite]

Ah- uh-... [well isn't that a personal question.]

... a lot of people.

[notmanaging]

You must have a lot of friends.

[equite]

I wouldn't say that, but... I cherish the ones I have.

[notmanaging]

And they're your strength?

[equite]

Without a doubt.

[notmanaging]

Maybe I need more friends.

[equite]

I'm- well- I could always use another... if you're interested.

[Despite his immaturity, Adrian supposes he's a nice enough guy.]

...All right.
