Even little kids can stand up for themselves.

I want to go to a game. I'm not shutting up until then. You can't make me.

I don't w-want to be hurt a-anymore. So - so I'm not going to stay with the Foundation. Find a game. I - I deserve it. I do. I deserve to go outside. And see things outside my room, and meet p-people, and learn to... to read. Or write. Or something. I don't know what's out there but I should. So I want a game.

Yep. But it's a game based on violence, horror and death, so at least her past isn't so bad...

[acro_bat_ic]

...I'll show you Gotham some time.

She's not even the most battered muse I have. That's the sad part.

[231_7]

What's 'Gotham'?

;;

[acro_bat_ic]

My home.

You'll like it.

I get damaged characters and try to fix their lives. I have issues.

[231_7]

What's it like?

I feel at least partially responsible for this one. ;;

[acro_bat_ic]

[Describe Gotham?]

...Right.

And big.

You'd like it.

It's not your fault.

[231_7]

Can you read?

Katai was the one who made Chard go rescue her... (Which is what resulted in you getting a new muse)

[acro_bat_ic]

Yeah. I'll teach you.

The muse part was my idea, though.

[231_7]

...it's not too late to learn?

She's at least interesting?

[acro_bat_ic]

It's never too late to learn.

She's the least far-gone of my muses.

[231_7]

Really?

That's good? ;;

[acro_bat_ic]

Would I lie? [Have a smile.]

[231_7]

I dunno. I'm not good at that kind of thing.

[acro_bat_ic]

The proper response is "I trust you."

But. Only to me.

[231_7]

Why only you?

[acro_bat_ic]

Because I'm one of the good guys.

[231_7]

That's what the Foundation said they were, too.
