[She has gone over this with him, patiently, thoroughly. It will not change by repetition. She will still be a soldier, she will still stand by her beliefs, no matter how distasteful some person from a world that doesn't even know war may find them.]

... But... ... Even if I cannot understand, I... I still wish to be your friend, Doctor Mizuno. I only hope that this difference between us is not an impediment in that regard.

[She is the one who always waits. She is the one who will always still be there. She may not have the forgiveness and love of Usagi, but she can be patient.]

Your... your friendship is... much more important to me than this is.
[That was hard to say, and that might have shown in how small Robert's voice was, but it needed to be said.]

... Even... even if you can fight, you... You have been a wonderful person to me. Kind, and understanding, and gentle...
[It clashes with everything Robert's ever known, everything Robert's ever been taught, everything Robert's ever thought or felt about human society...
But those parts of Ami... somehow managed to coexist.]
... I... don't think that has changed. I hope that has not changed.

[Robert suddenly has the small but unmistakable urge to go to Ami and hug her. To really hug her and show that he did care about her.
It... He made himself think about it. About hugging someone he knew had hurt people. Possibly even killed people.
But he'd kissed Donatello. Wasn't that similar?
Robert wondered if, perhaps, he had learned something - a small something - about humans. Maybe not Terran humans... but humans.]

It hasn't changed.

In the same vein, though, this was also a frightening reality, because Robert knew it meant that some part of him had come to depend on Ami's presence. And... perhaps one day she would not be so forgiving.]
... That makes me very glad, Doctor Mizuno. It is most reassuring to hear.
