[ Ann listens quietly, blinking in surprise. 'I held off weeks before I talked to her about it' hits a little close to home, because Ann's just as bad about that sort of thing and she... gets it. She also doesn't want to pry and ask who because it's rude and it's not her business... ]

I see... I'm so sorry to hear that. It isn't fair, no, that you had to confess something before you were ready. Things like that take timing... your hand shouldn't have been forced on the issue.

[ Much like the memory thing, when people had gotten their thoughts and memories jumbled and lost. This place sure likes forcing things on them. ]

I wanted very much to blame Mementos. Akechi-kun told me not too long ago that he came down here and was beating up on the walls, and he heard screaming... [ At that, she moves over to one of the pulsating walls, reaching out to run her fingers down one of the serrated gaping holes. ] But I don't... think Mementos has anything to do with it. Maybe. I guess... we're just the 'lucky' ones, huh? Ahah... I don't really know if I want to leave. Not without a few of you guys, at least.

[ Parsee and Seto, for starters, considering that they're the two she's closest to here. ]

No, I'm not. I am lucky to have friends like you here! I guess it just feels weird to be without them because of everything we've been through at home. Also, Ren and Akechi-kun were here before me, so it's just... strange. [ As Kaiba is mentioned, her cheeks turn a bright pink as per usual and she laughs nervously. ] W-well, he's great! He's good to me. And I'm glad to hear that, 'cause I'm pretty set on him, too.
