[It's okay. She knows what you mean.]
They are good! We can use the internet or some books to use for the recipes themselves.

I didn't get them! They'd show up in your box if he left them to you. It's happened all the other times I've gotten Pokémon from other people...
[Which is a painful thought.]
[Which is a painful thought.]
[Even though the words register, it's going to take a lot more to make Rise stop sniffling like a small child.
It's not until she's called strong that she hiccups softly before answering.]
N-No... you're a lot stronger.. You faced all those painful things and didn't run away like I did. I didn't have any friends growing up, not even when I was an idol. I ran away from being an idol... and I didn't make friends until I almost died.
[That's a story for another time.]
You're so much stronger than I could ever be. I'm just someone who gets attached to people way too easily if they're nice to me.
[Something Rise wishes she could change about herself.]

[ She can't imagine Rise being scared. ]
... Scared?
... Scared?
There's nothing wrong with that.
[She says it emphatically. Honestly, Maka doesn't understand people who consider bonds as some kind of weakness--they make you stronger in all kinds of ways, even if they end up hurting sometimes. Yes, she has difficulty with family bonds personally, but that doesn't mean she considers them invalid.]
So what if you ran from your problems in the past, so what if you get attached to people that are nice? That's totally natural for people to do. What does it matter I'm "stronger"--we're different people, Rise, we grew up in different times and different places. I just got done fighting a war, but that doesn't mean you need to be strong like me--you're strong like you and I'm strong like me! People all have courage and that's what matters most.
[A pause, she flips on the video.]
Rise Kujikawa, if I ever hear you saying bad things about yourself again, I'm going to shake it right out of you!

I... get scared a lot. I just act tough in front of people sometimes.
There's not?
[This is the first time anyone has ever said these things to her that didn't involve conquering her Shadow. Her friends were encouraging... but Maka was different. Someone who hadn't seen the worst of her, seen the ugliness, insecurities, and all that she had fought so hard to keep down. Having them hit so hard again just reminds Rise that there was still a lot of doubts in her.]
You're right. It's still not easy...
[When the video pops on, she squeaks and covers her face with on hand. She wasn't wearing any makeup, Maka!]
A-All right! All right! Don't scare me like that!

Lots of times... Like when I first got here. I didn't have anyone travel with me at all until I got to Goldenrod.
[ Naminé's going to give Rise another hug. ]
... What about recently?
... What about recently?
..... [Rise clings to Naminé.] Yes. Terrified...
[Makeup?? Who cares, this is super serious friendship times.]
Of course it's not easy...that's why life is an adventure.
[Scared her? Right, Soul does tell her that she gets this demonic-like look sometimes.]
Sorry, I just...don't like it when people compare their experiences to each others' unfavorably. People might share things in common, but there's no way for everyone to be similar enough to compare to each other.

[This girl wants to look presentable all the time.]
... It's something everyone around me does, even back home. It's a really hard habit to break.
[There's a smile now.]
Thank you. You're a really good friend, you know.

Uhm... so we're doing this on the 19th to throw him off. So it's a bigger surprise!
[That was it, right?]
[That was it, right?]
[More magic words!]
Of course! I can always use more variety in my wardrobe~

Yeah, and either he'll be less uncomfortable if we're shopping for ourselves too...or just think it was a ruse to get him to go with us on a shopping trip.
[Boys think like that.]
Anyway, I'll have Flash bring you over on the 19th, then we can get the thing rolling. I'll talk to you later, okay?

He'll enjoy it in his own little boy way.
[She nods, marking down the day.]
I'll text you with where I am on the 18th! See you then~!

[ :c ]
Well, um... I'm not sure I can do much, but I'll be here for you, however I can.

Thank you... You're always so sweet and nice to me...
[ Aw, Rise. ]
Well... we're friends, aren't we? I don't think I'm doing anything too special...
Well... we're friends, aren't we? I don't think I'm doing anything too special...
Of course we're friends! And I think you're super special.
