*Lodin: Rising Quasar!
 	
*Michele: ......
*Michele: Well, well. You didn't do so bad getting rid of that small fry.
 	
*Lodin: I'm telling you, you should take the help I'm offering you.
*Lodin: Our goals are the same anyway.
 	
*Michele: ......
*Michele: You're right.
*Michele: But, that's as far as we go.
 	
*Lodin: But why?! I showed you what I can do!!
 	
*Michele: Yeah, and I do think you're pretty strong.
*Michele: But aren't you just trying to use my power for your own ends?
 	
*Lodin: W-Well...
 	
*Lodin: N-No! But what's wrong with that anyway?
*Lodin: That's what squads are made for!
 	
*Michele: When you put it that way, it doesn't sound so bad.
*Michele: You use me, I use you.
*Michele: Yeah, I guess it's not a bad trade off.
*Michele: But I don't want that kind of relationship with my companions.
*Michele: I want to fulfill my mission with people I actually enjoy having around.
 	
*Lodin: How can you act so laid back?!
*Lodin: Melchio's trying to destroy our world!!
*Lodin: We don't have time for all that mushy crap!!
 	
*Michele: Yeah. You're right.
*Michele: But those are my preferences...
*Michele: ...and I'd just rather fight without you.
 	
*Lodin: Preferences...?!
 	
*Lodin: Hah! I don't even know why I thought I could count on you!
*Lodin: Just forget it.
*Lodin: But once I beat Melchio, you're gonna regret this!
 	
*Michele: Don't worry.
 	
*Michele: I'll tear him to pieces for you instead.
 	
*Lodin: Whatever, lady!!
