>She shakes her head. "While I wouldn't mind any new insights, what I would like is for you to be an unbiased opinion on some things. I would think to think it's within Shuuei's talents to preserve her anonymity without having to rely on something like convincing people she is someone else, and I feel it would be more trustworthy now. For instance, do you really know anything about her now, save for what she's chosen to let you see? What you've seen is not her, but rather the mask."

> "Iku wanted that unbiased opinion, right? Here's what I've seen so far of you. Earlier today, I complied with a request to keep my back to someone that, for all I know, had a weapon out and was ready to attack me at any time. I agreed to run an incredibly important errand for this person - that'd be you - for a price to be named later. Eventually, I secured the goods as requested, and in the middle of taking care of an issue I personally felt was far more important, I took time out of dealing with it to return said goods to you. In doing so, I've learned that, even though I recovered this incredibly valuable thing for you, my very presence utterly disgusts you, and that, once our transaction is concluded, you will go back to pondering the apparently incredibly difficult dichotomy of letting yourself dying and being anywhere near me."
