[Haku's voice is strained. She's been crying, and while there's still a hint of anger in her voice she sounds more regretful anymore.]

If Honne Dell comes around the Hyperion... don't let him in. In fact... DATS needs to be contacted if he's seen...

He was the one responsible for Yagami Taichi going to the third level of his demon seal. He did it for Teto-chan. He... betrayed his family. He betrayed a lot of people.

I don't want him around my daughter. I don't want him around my husband. I don't want him around my brothers, my sisters...

I don't--

I don't want to do this to him, but he's left me with no choice...

Maybe you should hire another assistant, Lorne?

[eatatjoesaura]

Maybe, I'll wait a bit to see how this little shake up turns out.

[sakedrinking]

I suppose...

[she certainly doesn't have high hopes that it'll turn out alright]

Not to put a strain on you cool whip, but well...I can't help but wonder if it had been you and tall, muscular and bleached in their shoes, what do you suppose?

... I think... Eikichi would have done anything to get me back. But I also think he would have known that, even if I weren't in my right mind, I wouldn't want him sacrificing some one else to accomplish that.

He loves me. Dell loves Teto. The difference between Eikichi and Dell?

He's not hopelessly selfish. In fact he's probably one of the most selfless people I know.

That's why I think you're my favorite singing robot. You've grown up so much since we first met.

Y-you really think so... ?

Re: [locked]

[eatatjoesaura]

Do you even have to ask? With everything you've been through you still have that sweet soft heart. Now you just know how to defend it.

[sakedrinking]

That's true...

I just wish I would have been able to stop Dell before all this happened.

Re: [locked]

[eatatjoesaura]

There's still hope for him to turn it around, especially since no one died. I've spent more then my share of time with brooding self loathing types.

[sakedrinking]

Maybe... but I don't know if I can forgive him...
