1. Hey, Hapi. You got a minute?
  2. I have several. Need something?
  3. So, I heard a little about your past... And I was [cdb]wondering if you wouldn't mind telling me more [cdb]about it.
  4. I see. So now you know, huh?
  5. Not the most pleasant story. What did you want [cdb]to know?
  6. I was thinking about how you asked all those [cdb]questions about my mom.
  7. And I realized, you were probably worried I went [cdb]through the same thing as you.
  8. Yeah, that about sums it up. You do have those [cdb]mysterious powers, after all.
  9. When I was little, some strange lady kidnapped me. I became a test subject for her twisted experiments.
  10. That's how I ended up with my "condition," or [cdb]whatever you want to call it. Not that it's [cdb]life-threatening.
  11. Safe to say my mom never did anything like that. I'm pretty sure I'd remember it if she did.
  12. She didn't really talk much, but I don't think she [cdb]had a deceitful bone in her body.
  13. Her life was kinda just, what you'd expect out in a [cdb]village like that. She did keep to herself, though.
  14. Thinking about it more, it's possible she was on the [cdb]run from someone.
  15. Hm, that does sound a little worrying. But in any [cdb]event, I'm glad you didn't go through what I did.
  16. And unlike me, it seems you've got a pretty good [cdb]handle on your powers.
  17. That's right.
  18. Maybe not...
  19. Yeah, I think I've gotten the hang of them for the [cdb]most part.
  20. But that still doesn't make them safe.
  21. Nah, I don't really have full control of them yet. You never know when something might go wrong.
  22. One day that sword might overtake me, and I'll turn [cdb]into a monster. Like something out of a fairy tale.
  23. If that ever happens, I'll just sigh, and you'll come [cdb]running.
  24. Then me and all your old friends would put you out [cdb]of your misery. Now that's a real fairy tale ending.
  25. Well, that won't give me nightmares at all. But if it [cdb]ever came to it, I think that's how I'd like to go.
  26. Mercenaries need to use every weapon and tactic at [cdb]their disposal.
  27. Maybe flinging these powers around isn't such a [cdb]good idea, but right now I need to do whatever I [cdb]can to stay alive.
  28. Though honestly, I should probably take a page out [cdb]of your book and only use them as a last resort.
  29. I think that's what makes you pretty incredible, Hapi. You've got this power right there but choose not to [cdb]use it.
  30. I think that means I just gave up.
  31. You're way more amazing because you're still trying. No doubt about it.
  32. Insist she's the amazing one.
  33. Take the compliment.
  34. No, you're the amazing one. And you can't tell me [cdb]otherwise.
  35. OK, sure, we can say I'm more amazing...
  36. As long as you recognize you're right there with me.
  37. I don't even know what we're talking about anymore.
  38. Anyway, was that all? 'Cause I feel like I need [cdb]to move.
  39. Yeah, thanks for talking with me. You going to train?
  40. Yup. Figure it couldn't hurt to put in a little effort.
  41. You should come too, if you're free. I hope to see you [cdb]there.
  42. Come to think of it... Experiments, huh? What did that dream even mean?
  43. Arval...
