Let me see if I've got this right. You're so excited to see another group of people go through what I went through that you got nostalgic? Do I need to remind you of how traumatizing that was for us? And it's going to be Clover's third time!

... ... You must really like the Nonary Game. You're starting to remind me of someone I'd really like to forget. You're not crazy or anything, are you? You have some taste, since you picked me, but I already don't like the rest of you.

Alright, then! I've decided. I'm going to make this as difficult for you as possible. [Somehow.] You can shut up anytime now, I'm done talking with you.

Clover's third time...

[ Ugh. Not something he really wants to imagine. Sure, she'll be fine because it's Clover. But he'll worry because he's Snake. Light. Whatever. ]

At least neither of us seem particularly thrilled about the prospect, right Lotus?

[ Meanwhile, his mun is counting the days. ]

[h8r]

What's that supposed to mean? Of course I'm not thrilled! This is Clover we're talking about. I'm glad it's not me, of course, but that doesn't mean I'm glad it's Clover.

[She sighs frustratedly. Her mun, too, is counting down the days.]

I just wanted to think it was all over.

[epicbraille]

Now, now. Don't be offended. I was looking for solidarity, that's all.

[ Maybe Lotus would be glad if Ace was being put through the ringer a second time, but not Clover. ]

She'll be fine. Third time's the charm, as they say. How many times can one person find a digital root before it becomes second nature?

[h8r]

[She won't be too offended.]

As long as you know that. [And, if she was ever asked, she'd rather put Ace through much worse things than another Nonary game for what he put her daughters through.]

She'll know all of the puzzles, too. She probably won't even need nine hours. [If. It's the same, that is.]
