>[Sola blushes as Carmody so confidently drops the F bomb.]"I... I had a whole thing ready to say to you yesterday that essentially said the same thing. But you said it a lot easier than I would have. It's the same thing that happened to Nika, and Nikki, and Amy. I was just terrified that it was going to happen to you. Anyone could tell from the moment you got to the WWA that Priscilla was going to want to sink her teeth into you. You're so beautiful. You are exactly the kind of person she wants in the Divine Angels, or as something else. This contract she has offered you -- well, 'us', I guess? I think mine's still in pieces on the Dojo floor -- is little more than a reason to dress you up and make you into another one of her play things. I think you know that, and I know whatever comes of it, you'll be making an informed decision. I just... I can't lose someone else. Not again."
"As for Paule, Kanako, Noire and I; we all cannot be happier you're here with us now. This place, this Dojo, even if it's "Priscilla's Dojo", it has some problems, of course. But with Ash and Maria and LILLITH, I think there's a chance we could build it back up to what it used to be. And that starts with people like you. Because Priscilla might be a snake, but she's not entirely wrong. You are kinda amazing."
"And... yeah. You kind of mentioned it. I'm sorry I'm in these gross clothes when you look like *that*. I. uh, don't know how I feel about 'girlfriend', to be honest. This is all new to me. But I really like you too."
