...Well, I'd talked about you with him a bit. So, that and the fact that you acknowledged him at all—even as a trainwreck—along with me and Man Eater means I knew things were complicated, but that he was important to you. That was plenty to guess that you protected Heart Soldier Senshi, since only they and pep!pep! were in danger. You wouldn't risk the chance to win and keep your unit safe for a unit with one less point than you.

I didn't know if you'd... done anything with King, but I guessed so from what Nine Nine said, and some of how King acted. Then, the fact King knew why I was acting the way I did at the hospital confirmed it for sure. But that was after we started doing things together.

...It's not like I got involved with him because he's yours, you know. Or I would have done that a while ago. We just... got closer, and I like him. It makes sense that I would, right...?
