Now for something completely different
[Action]
[There you are, in the Battle Dome. Trying to mind your own business and do a good day's worth of training. But this guy's too bored to let you do so in peace. As you train, he will sneer and smirk through the observation deck, as if aware of some fatal flaw in your training regimen that is invisible to you. Every time you look up to him, he's answering your latest move with a scoff or a small laugh. Sometimes even an indifferent shrug. And after your big show stopper? A yawn.
Whether you try to approach him or not, Jade Curtiss casually saunters over towards you when you're finally throwing in the towel. He prods his glasses up his nose before assessing you in person, showing every possible visible sign in his face that he is disappointed with your performance.
But he speaks in a casual, almost sing-song manner.]
My, my. Done already? And here I thought this facility was supposed to be used for challenges!

[Jade sits up in bed, impatiently poking at his journal while wearing just his signature bathrobe. It's been a week already since he came here - and since his peers from his world had to endure his tests to prove they were not replicas. Or in some cases, prove they were the same replicas he knew.]
This is Colonel Jade, Third Division, Malkuth Imperial Forces. I've been here a week now, but some matters are still pressing on my mind.
So! Tell me, Luceti. How would you rate the quality of the local hot springs?

I was the one who couldn't see. I was the one who killed you. You can't just excuse that. You can't.
[He always imagined having to get on his knees, to beg for the professor's forgiveness, sparing her every humility that he refused to show even a trace of for others. But to seemingly receive it without any such effort... it creates such a strange mix of feelings within him. It's difficult to accept that it can be so easy. And it makes him feel all the worse about the kind life that he extinguished, soon to replace with pure malice.]
I did do my best to move on and to better myself... as you had presumably intended to better me. And then to better others in turn, to do what I can to fix the messes of flawed humans. [He adjusts his glasses quietly.] But I never forgot. And... Now that you're here, it all seems so irrelevant. It's all just excuses.
