Miss Anna, if I were to find a way to bring Mrs. Kimiyoshi back- [ -and they both remember what that means- ] -I daresay Miss Kainé would have a new rival. You were very nearly struck speechless in the street, as I recall.

[ okay, now she's definitely being a little shit. hardly offensive, though. just teasing in that way of hers. ]

...one word of advice, if you'll indulge me. [ she takes a deep breath, exhales softly. ] If it does backfire on you, try not to take it to heart. Short though your life might be, it'll feel much, much longer without people to trust.

[ "it'll feel much longer." she says it as she might a curse. ]
