[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!
