I did.

You were just as beautiful as I thought.

What did she tell you?

The usual junk. She really hates you, so you're doing something right.

What about you?

They're not my warden. Iris is still down. So I got a lecture and then told I wasn't worth worrying about. So here I am. In Zero.

You're one of the only people here worth anything. You don't bow to the Admiral. You stay true to yourself.

Most people aren't so strong.

I'm aware. I'm getting out of here my way. Not their way.

I'm looking forward to it.

Someday we'll be free and away from all of this.

I do hope so.

I lose faith seeing how many of these wardens have come back to this place. And they call ME brainwashed.

You're not. And it has to stay that way. No matter what they threaten us with, we have to stay true to ourselves.

Yes, I know.

Are you in for the full week?

Probably. I didn't bother to ask, just in case it was pushing my luck.

We'll miss the New Year. I'm sure they're having a celebration.

Another party.

Another reason to indulge.

God, I hate parties. If I weren't in here I'd crash it and ruin it for everyone. They don't deserve to have fun like that.

I was wondering why I didn't see you at the holiday party.

Well, they can fill themselves full of sin enough.

You went?

I didn't think that'd be your scene.

I was assured that there would be no alcohol and it breaks up the day.

I partied quite a bit before Eden's Gate.

I'd rather sit here in Zero than spend time mingling with those assholes. Unless you were getting some hot gossip out of it.

I've never been to a party. Not a real one, anyway. Just the ones with like, four people who weren't invited to the regular party hanging out.

You could have come with me.

But I usually get gossip. There's a new priest. Strange man. Warden, though. Which is unfortunate.

I would have if I knew you were going.

Ugh, wardens. How good of a priest can he be if he lets the Admiral call the shots? Isn't that a false idol or something?

Exactly.

But he seems odd. He might be one we explore a little farther.

What's his name?

Kirei Kotomine.

I'll keep an eye on him.

[ A beat. ]

And John? That Warren guy is trouble. Stay away from him. Or maybe we should kill him next. [ She's only seen them together once but oh boy she did not like John's body language around him. ]

[Uh oh.]

We can't kill him. I watched him snatch a cup out of midair.

He's Iris' friend. He's bringing my meals this week, but I'm doing my best to ignore him.

So fucking what. It'll be even better if we get someone who has reflexes like that or powers or something. I could ask the gang for help.

Any friend of Iris's is an enemy of mine. Ignore him as much as you can. It's not like he can give you double Zero.

Of course not.
