[Rei putting it into words helps a little. Somehow, when Mona kept going on, it just made her feel angry. Veil almost more exasperated. It felt like they were just being willfully ignorant of the situation.

Maybe that isn't quite it. Does that... make it better or worse?

Is it a good thing, reaching out to someone bad because it feels like you should? Ariel doesn't know. To her, it doesn't feel like it. But Rei did take that chance with them... That's right...

You're right. It's not really the same.

You heard her talking, right? She doesn't want it. She's already decided what she wants.

And... none of us... none of us acted like she did, when me met you, right? [If they did, there would be a lot of flipping out, let's be real.] Mona was saying, how she was alone. But you were alone, and you'd never do anything like that either.

[Why do things have to be this complicated? Why can't they just fight and get it over with?]

I know Mona and Veil mean well. But I just can't understand accepting someone like that. Especially not if it would mean splitting off from everyone else.

[...Is she the problem? Maybe the fact that she can't understand this means she really is just an idiot.]
