**Raine:** (Thoughts) I’m desperate to master this ability, but using this seems so… _dangerous._ Could such an evil device really help? I should refuse… but if it will, then…
**Raine:** …I can’t.
**Roselyn:** Well, like I said, I’m not surprised. If you won’t do this, there _**are**_ easier ways we can try first. They won’t be as effective, but you _**will**_ get results in time. Honestly, I picked the most drastic method I could think of first to see how you’d react. I’m glad there’s a cautious mind in that head of yours. That’s good. You’d be a fool to just blindly—
**Raine:** _Uh…_ actually, I already put it on. Wait, was I not supposed to?

**Raine:** _Huh?_

**Raine:** You told me to!
**Roselyn:** Yes, but you didn’t even question it! What if I had ulterior motives? You can’t trust _**anyone**_ so recklessly! _**Everyone**_ is capable of betraying you!
**Raine:** We’re family, though!
**Roselyn:** _**Especially**_ family!
**Roselyn:** Out of anyone family can…
**Roselyn:** …can…
**Roselyn:** Er, sorry. Nevermind.
