-Huh?!-
"W-Why not?!"
-He seems pretty darn distressed now.-
-He wants to know what he did wrong for Acht (or rather, any girl) to refuse to tell him.-
Jean, Jean, Jean. I might not know you the best yet, but I think you've got potential.
I think all humans have potential, that's why I'm doing this stuff in the first place.
Traveller, thankfully, has relatively low standards next to all the other Tarot Tablets.
It'll take a whole lot of uncertainty to not be able to use it.
Mmm. A few years, and you're still zhe same vay. Of course I know, Rennor. Zhat's vhat comes with being your friend.
Vell. Even if I'm not alvays here... and doing my own business, like zhe coup...
Apparently you offered to help too, didn't you? You sure you aren't like... too busy vith zhat shit you're doing othervise? The other civil war?

-OK, so Xenos thinks she can do it...-
-...And apparently Traveller isn't too picky...-
-Remember your dream, Jean! Remember being that magical girl you always wanted to be!-
-She takes a deep breath, and nods.-
"Right. I won't let you down!"

Makeshift Prison Room (Cuarto)
-OUCH.-
-To think that he cares for nothing more than chasing skirts (Acht isn't wrong, but it's not like he's thinking of it that way)... and to think of him as an idiot (Only his brothers have ever called him anything like that, and that's just brotherly love, of course!)-
-...Maybe if he's even nicer to her? Surely that'd work?-
"W-What can I do to change your mind?! I've, um... got a lot of roses you can have! I've got nearly endless roses!"
-Oh geez, the guy's desperate.-
"O-Or is there anything else I can help you with? There must be something...!"
-...-
-He's completely missing the point, Acht.-
-You're right. He is an absolute moron.-

Oof, I know zhat feeling. I fear zhat vhen I'm done, I'll be like "vell now vhat."
Still... I do have openings for you. Maybe a career, too. Y'know I'm not sure if I ever asked but... vhat did you do as a job? Before you ever. Came to zhe room.
Like vhat did you vant to be as a kid?
-he smiles- It's flattering that you want to not let me down.
But I'm more concerned about you letting yourself down.

-Oh, well...-
"...I'm used to disappointment. If I'm disappointed in myself, I'll live."
-...Geez. Probably not the answer you were looking for.-

-As she was thinking it over, he was starting to get all hopeful, thinking maybe he had a chance...-
-...At least until Cuarto was knocked onto the floor again.-
-It takes him a few seconds to regain his bearings (He's obviously too hardheaded to go unconscious).-
"W-Wait! Where are you going?!"
-...Does she want him to stay out of the way...?-
-...-
-...No! He won't just let her leave! Women don't like a man that just gives up!-
-So he gets up and tries to follow after her.-

Upstairs (Acht)
Nope, you're too stupid! I'm not telling you!
(She runs past Leos, who takes a second to realise who went past!)
Wait, was that...?
(Notices Cuarto) Hey! Who let her out, Aichi?!

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."-Dr.9 puts a hand on his shoulder- Rennor, zhat is vone of zhe best answers you could've given, for having a future at 9.Corp.
Mechanics fit beautifully into my corporation. And you know, vith experience... could convert zhat into a little bit of engineering.
Even if you help vith fighting zhe civil var, I know now zhat I can find a place for you after that. Allow you to go back to being a mechanic.
Wooowwwww, Jean.
Jean, honey.
-he claps his hands together and does the sort of two-handed point-
You really need to work on that confidence. Thankfully though, the path I've given you the opportunity to take should help you out with that.

-He was in pursuit of Acht, but then he saw Leos.-
-He looks veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery familiar for some reason*...-
-...-
-...The guy from that image he saw, perhaps?-
-...Wait, this isn't the time to think about that!-
-He's frantic because Acht is getting away and turning down his affections.-
-He's not even in the position to correct Leos about calling him 'Aichi'.-
"I-I did! I wanted to win her heart by saving her, but she's escaping!"
-...Oh, well he just admitted that in a hurry.-
-...Leos, what the heck is up with THIS Aichi?-
-A strange uniform not unlike the one Acht is wearing (Although now that the narrator thinks about it, the original Aichi is probably stuck in the same uniform as well...), he's older-seeming, he has a heart-shaped ahoge on his head, he's talking about nonsense like 'winning her heart' and 'wooing her'...-
-...Just what the heck?-
-And did he seriously let her out?-
-Cuarto then snaps out of his distraction and begins chasing after Acht again.-
"Please stop, Acht! It was destiny for us to meet! I can picture our future! We're meant to be together!!!"
-...Yeah, you might want to chase them, Leos...-
*Referencing that 'image' he saw when he was talking to Sthesia.

-It wouldn't be the first time someone told her that she needed more confidence. Nina (when she was able to talk, of course), Mia, and Lily all said that sort of thing...-
-...It's just difficult. It never really felt like Jean had much to be proud of.-
-Her good grades never meant anything... or at least it didn't to her mom. You know, someone that's supposed to be happy when their kid succeeds.-
-Those grades are really all she had to her name... Well, she sings all right, but really, she can't make a career out of that...-
-But still... She'll try. This whole thing will change her life, and she needs to make the best of it.-
"I'll try."

There's two life philosophies that I abide by.
Either look on the bright side, or don't look at all.
Learn to care not for the abyss.
-she smiles warmly-
See, you've got a place. And you're worried about the demon thing aren't you?

(Leos has no choice but to run after the two "lovebirds", and chases them down the hall.) Just stop!
See you, suckers!
(What the—?! She jumped out the window at the end and is running into the forest.)

-Yeah, Jean can see the logic in that.-

-No! No! Acht is escaping!-
-H-He was so sure that they were meant to be...!-
"W-Wait!"
-Leos, now he's trying to jump out the window to go after her.-
-This Aichi has some explaining to do...-
Rennor, I read people all zhe time. It comes vith being part of a competitive sport.
Besides, I know you, and I also know zhat you said you vere vorried about demon shit to zhe Trades.
I do listen to my reports, you know?~ -she grins a little-
Have I ever told you about my origins?
I think it'd give you some perspective of how far I've come.
