Oh my gosh, Mister Wright!! You have to have me give you tips! Do you want Trucy and I to dress you up for dates, or will you just wear your regular suit?
[...I didn't expect her to take me up on that so quickly! Think quickly...!]
Well... erm, yeah, why not? I... know that it can't be an easy position for either of you. But knowing Blackquill, I'm sure he'd understand.
...We're going to save him one day. I know it. But when I think about it, right now there's too many variables for you to be waiting on him. We don't know when he could come back, or if he could have the same memories...
[It seems he's convinced himself with his own spontaneous logic, and he nods at himself.]
Athena, take the path that's easier on your feelings. That's what he would want for you.
You're welcome. I... I know it can't be easy for you.
[He's not sure if he knows the same feeling exactly. The closest would be back home, when he had to deal with losing "Dollie". But that was with an entirely different set of complications.]
But I'll offer any support and advice you might need. I think we all deserve some chances of happiness with everything that we go through here.

...I think I have things under control for now. No assistance required at this time, and I'll figure out my wardrobe when I get to it. Okay?
voice.
But... okay... okay! And you have to tell me all the details!
voice.
Of course, Athena. I'll present you with a full testimony. Alright?

Well, alright. I'll ask you something.
Is it okay if I liked somebody new now that Simon's in the Nexus?

Okay. I think?
[ she stays quiet for a few moments. ]
Thanks, boss. It's- It's still difficult, but I appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
