Jerry; I have a duty to attend to. Sorry we had to say goodbye like this. I hope you'll be alright.
Lisa; it's fine, just promise me you'll be careful.
Jerry; I will.
A few minutes after they left, Lisa, Hei and Tsubaki where walking down the street…
Hei; why the long face?
Kongou; Mistress, you look upset, has Jerry's departure upset you already?
Lisa; it's nothing, don't worry about it.
Kongou; I'm sure master cares for you very much, and it hurts him to leave so quickly but…
Lisa; I said its fine!
Kongou; …
Hei; …
Lisa, with tears in her eyes; …
Hei; let's go, we'll talk about this some other time.
Some other time…
Kongou; It's a shame what happened to this country.
Hei; don't blame yourself, you didn't start the war did you?
Kongou; still, it shouldn't be this bad, there's so much crime that the police are all occupied and you can't even walk round the street without fear of being jumped.
Hei; It's the reason why communities around the countries created shelters like this one, to help the less fortunate during these difficult times. Just shows that even if an entire country goes to shit, there's still some who can stand up for each other, and help each other out. So, Lisa, are you ready for us to help you out?
Lisa, who was sitting in a corner the room; It's complicated.
Kongou; whatever the young mistress is going through, I'm sure we can talk it out.
Lisa; *sigh* I miss home.
Kongou; I see, that makes sense, but why can't you come back.
Lisa; it's because, I don't want Jerry's gift to go in vein. My whole life up till 2 years ago, I felt trapped, like I was stuck in a hole I could never escape, but then, Jerry freed me from that hole, but in order for him to do that he got stuck himself, AND NOW I'VE LEFT ALL THAT RESPONSIBILITY THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE ON HIM!
Kongou; if you're worried, it's fine, the young master is extremely skilled.
Lisa; it's not just about Jerry, all those people, back home all those people who died, weather 3 years ago or just recently. I abandoned them, and left everything for Jerry to take care of. And now he's probably blaming himself for not being there.
Hei; you two are hopeless you know that?
Kongou; Hei?
Hei; So, he's blaming himself because a bunch of shit happened under his watch, you're blaming yourself because you think you dumped all that responsibility on him. Both of you are wrong! Listen, your boyfriend is going through some hard shit right now, and you're just here crying about it. Do you think your guilt would help him in any way?
Lisa; …
Hei; that's what I thought. Now, what do you want to do?
Lisa; I want, I want…
Hei; what was that?
Lisa; I want to help him.
Hei; good. We can do that by finishing our objective, now then. Let's find a way to save this country.
Lisa; alright, let's do it.
