[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!]
[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.
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?

A-All right! All right! Don't scare me like that!

... 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.

[She tries all the time, and sometimes it's really hard.]
Well...we might have gotten off-track with this. We were talking about Ken's birthday and now what?
no subject
[That was it, right?]
no subject
[Horrifically so.]
What else...oh! Did you want to do some shopping of our own while we're at it? I think we're a little overdue as well.
