Reflection: Swords of Mind/Supports/Sanae

==Sanae and Reimu==
===Rank C===
*Sanae: Pencil? Check! Colouring pens? Check! Source material? Check!
*Reimu: Sanae? What are you up to?
*Sanae: Paper? Check! Light source? Check! Water glass? Check!
*Reimu: Sanae! Don't ignore me!
*Sanae: Aaah! Reimu!
*Reimu: …
*Sanae: …oh, look what you've done!
*Reimu: What I'VE done? You're the one who spilled your glass of water.
*Sanae: And YOU'RE the one who made me jump.
*Reimu: Perhaps it isn't such a good idea to have a glass of water near your paper?
*Sanae: What if I need a drink?
*Reimu: Then walk away, get a drink, and come back to your work. It's not hard.
*Sanae: But if I do that, I'll forget what I was trying to draw!
*Reimu: Not if you take your source material with you.
*Sanae: But what if the source material gets wet?
*Reimu: Sorry. I can't help you there.
===Rank B===
*Sanae: Paper? Check! Light source? Check! Water? No, we don't want any of that?
*Reimu: Excuse me?
*Sanae: What is it, Reimu?
*Reimu: Whose water is this?
*Sanae: Nobody's.
*Reimu: Oh, right. I forgot that you don't want any water near your paper.
*Sanae: Of course I don't. What good is paper when it's drenched?
*Reimu: None at all.
*Sanae: At least wet paper isn't malicious, right?
*Reimu: To be malicious, it has to be able to do something. Wet paper can't even be used to draw, can it?
*Sanae: Nope.
*Reimu: Oh, I just realised... you want to get started on your drawing, don't you?
*Sanae: Well... yeah! That's why I set everything up!
*Reimu: Alright. I'll leave you to draw in peace. There's just one thing I need to ask.
*Sanae: And that would be...
*Reimu: Did you make sure that your pencil has a rubber?
*Sanae: Dang it! I knew that something was wrong with that pencil!
===Rank A===
*Sanae: Hmm, hm-hm-hm-hm, hm-hm-hmm, hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm...
*Reimu: (Sanae certainly looks happy. I wonder what she's drawing?)
*Sanae: Hmm, hm-hm-hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hmm...
*Reimu: (I don't want to get a closer look, in case she gets a shock. Maybe I should wait for it to be done?)
*Sanae: …and it's done!
*Reimu: (Oh, how convenient.) Can I see that picture, Sanae?
*Sanae: Of course! Knock yourself out!
*Reimu: Hmm, let's see. It looks like... like that painting on your desk!
*Sanae: That's my source material.
*Reimu: Oh. That explains a lot. So, what is it actually?
*Sanae: It's a picture of Corrin, the king of Hoshido!
*Reimu: It looks very nice.
*Sanae: Thank you!
*Reimu: Come to think of it, where did you get your source material from?
*Sanae: Azura let me borrow it on a loan.
*Reimu: On a loan? How much did it cost you?
*Sanae: Only five thousand Silver.
*Reimu: That's an awful lot… actually, hold on. This Silver belongs to all of us, so you're essentially not paying anything at all.
*Sanae: That's why I accepted the loan! Clever, isn't it?
*Reimu: Hmm, so you think that you're clever, eh?
*Sanae: I do.
*Reimu: How many days until it's your turn to cook?
*Sanae: Thirteen. I know the schedule off by heart.
==Sanae and Marisa==
===Rank C===
*Sanae: Okay, let's see… silver coin, I wish for my sword to be fixed by morning! …there we are. Now to get back to-
*Marisa: Hey, Sanae!
*Sanae: Marisa?! What are you doing here?
*Marisa: I'm just swimming. And, uh, searching for Silver at the bottom of the pool.
*Sanae: Isn't that stealing?
*Marisa: Not if nobody finds out!
*Sanae: I've found out. Hah! Busted!
*Marisa: …
*Sanae: Besides, we use that spare Silver to make wishes.
*Marisa: That's pretty weird, isn't it?
*Sanae: Look, if you steal the coins before the wishes come true, we'll have tossed our coins into the pool for nothing.
*Marisa: But what if the wishes HAVE come true?
*Sanae: There's no way of telling which coins are for which wishes, so it's best to not steal ANY wish coins.
*Marisa: Come to think of it, have you made any wishes?
*Sanae: For my sword to be fixed by the morning.
*Marisa: You don't need a wish for that!
*Sanae: Actually, that depends on the competency of the person who's doing the repairs.
*Marisa: And who did you give the sword to?
*Sanae: Ribbon.
*Marisa: Then go and throw another coin in the pool!
*Sanae: How do I know that this isn't a ploy to steal more Silver?
*Marisa: Because I want your wish to come true!
*Sanae: But earlier on you described wishes as weird…
*Marisa: I've changed my mind! Now throw the coin already!
===Rank B===
*Marisa: Hey, Sanae!
*Sanae: Oh, hi, Marisa!
*Marisa: Is that the sword you gave to Ribbon to fix?
*Sanae: Yes, and it's good as new, thanks to that coin I wished on!
*Marisa: Thanks to Ribbon, you mean.
*Sanae: Oh, you never know. That coin could have been the reason why it happened!
*Marisa: Drowning coins doesn't mean that wishes come true, ya know.
*Sanae: It could be. You never know.
*Marisa: Where's your proof?
*Sanae: You know how people throw their money into fountains, right? Well, when they do, they're giving money to the gods. And it's because they're given the money that the gods are happy to make wishes come true!
*Marisa: Oh! So when you're chucking Silver into the pool, you're asking Suwako to do you a favour?
*Sanae: Any god, really. Though I don't know many others.
*Marisa: Oh, and by the way?
*Sanae: What is it, Marisa?
*Marisa: Can I steal that coin from the pool?
*Sanae: No, you cannot.
*Marisa: But the wish came true, right?
*Sanae: Someone else might have thrown their Silver in there, so if you try to take my coin, you might steal a wish that hasn't come true.
*Marisa: The gods should have the wishes already. So they wouldn't need the coins.
*Sanae: What if they forget about the wishes?
*Marisa: Oh. Never thought about that.
===Rank A===
*Sanae: Okay, I'll put this string on my coin… and now, silver coin, I wish for the missing pages in the cookbook to be replaced!
*Marisa: Hey, what are these pages for?
*Sanae: Can I see, Marisa?
*Marisa: Knock yourself out!
*Sanae: Hmm… these are the missing pages from the cookbook!
*Marisa: Darn, I knew they looked familiar!
*Sanae: Come to think of it, I just made a wish for the pages to be replaced. Now I don't need that wish, thanks to you!
*Marisa: Aww, thanks! I think? Anyway, what are you going to do with that wish?
*Sanae: You can take the coin back.
*Marisa: But what if I steal someone else's wish?
*Sanae: Oh, don't worry. I've put a string on that coin, just in case you want to steal it.
*Marisa: Again, thanks! Now, I just need to put these pages back…
*Sanae: I can do that for you.
*Marisa: Oh my gosh, stop making me thank you!
*Sanae: There's nothing wrong with thanking people, Marisa…
*Marisa: There is when I have to do it too much!
==Sanae and Youmu==
===Rank C===
*Sanae: Two fives.
*Youmu: Two sixes.
*Sanae: Three sevens.
*Youmu: Cheat.
*Sanae: Dang! I forgot that you played two sevens before!
*Youmu: You're really bad at Cheat, aren't you?
*Sanae: It's because I suck at lying.
*Youmu: Or because you don't pay enough attention.
*Sanae: Or because this game makes me laugh like a madwoman.
*Youmu: I don't think that's so good a factor…
*Sanae: It is when I'm about to cheat! It gives me away instantly!
*Youmu: To be honest, I thought you were impersonating Hyness when you were laughing like that.
*Sanae: Why would I impersonate the likes of him?
*Youmu: Because he's your enemy. Enemies deserve to be mocked.
*Sanae: Oh, so it's alright if I say something like this? "I am Chrom, king of the Einherji! I abuse my daughter and get away with it because she thinks I have a good public image!"
*Youmu: Well… don't say that in front of Lucina.
*Sanae: Oh, look. Lucina's glaring at me through the window.
*Youmu: Why didn't you check that she wasn't there?
*Sanae: I was too endorsed in our game of Cheat.
*Youmu: But you made the impression after we'd stopped…
*Sanae: Wait, is the game over?
*Youmu: Not yet. We can still keep playing, right?
*Sanae: I guess so?
*Youmu: Okay then. Two fours.
===Rank B===
*Youmu: Hmm, let's see, I could ask people if they could play cards with me… or I can do some gardening.
*Sanae: Youmu?
*Youmu: Ah, Sanae! What do you think I should do - cards or gardening?
*Sanae: Definitely cards.
*Youmu: Hmm, so you want another game of Cheat?
*Sanae: Not that again. How about Palace?
*Youmu: That's another good game. Though I'm not really sure how to set it up.
*Sanae: I can do it for you.
*Youmu: Oh. Thank you.
*Sanae: Okay, let's start with the face down cards… don't you dare turn them over!
*Youmu: I won't. By the way, Sanae?
*Sanae: What is it?
*Youmu: Did Lucina do anything to you for your impression of Chrom?
*Sanae: No, because I haven't seen her since then.
*Youmu: That's lucky.
*Sanae: Well, I suppose that impersonating Chrom isn't the best of plans… but mocking Hyness is perfectly fine, right?
*Youmu: Provided that we don't have any Jambastion spies in our midst.
*Sanae: Okay, then… "I am Hyness, the leader of the Jambastion! Hahahahaha, I don't know why I'm laughing because I'm trying to kill somebody!"
*Youmu: Or, better yet… "I am Hyness, and I'm completely insane! I could rant about nothing at all for hours without getting tired!"
===Rank A===
*Sanae: Hahahaha! That's so funny!
*Youmu: Are you impersonating Hyness again, Sanae?
*Sanae: Oh, no. Adeleine just told me a brilliant joke about card games.
*Youmu: Card games… that makes me think!
*Sanae: We're not playing Cheat again, are we?
*Youmu: No, we're playing Palace… if I can remember how to set it up.
*Sanae: I can do it for you-
*Youmu: I think I'll be okay. Now, what is it? Each player has three cards face-down that they absolutely must not look at…
*Sanae: You're right so far.
*Youmu: …and on top of each of those, a face-up card…
*Sanae: Still right.
*Youmu: …then each player starts with a hand of three cards…
*Sanae: Uh-huh.
*Youmu: I think that's it, right?
*Sanae: Oh, don't forget to leave room for the burn pile!
*Youmu: Burn pile? …oh, right. When you play a ten, you discard all the cards on the pile.
*Sanae: Okay, let's get started!
*Youmu: Actually, before we start, can I just say something?
*Sanae: Of course you can.
*Youmu: Last night, I saw Lucina giving you a death stare.
*Sanae: …oh, yeah. I said something rude about Chrom yesterday.
*Youmu: Do I want to hear what it was?
*Sanae: No. You don't.
==Sanae and Yuyuko==
===Rank C===
*Yuyuko: Now, then! The recipe says that it serves four, and judging how many of us there are… it'd be best to make the recipe about six times. But then again, Byakuren's a vegetarian, so I won't need to make any for her… oh, I'll just make it six times anyway. They won't mind having a bit more on their plate, will they?
*Sanae: Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: What is it, Sanae?
*Sanae: There's a letter addressed to you.
*Yuyuko: Who do you think it's from?
*Sanae: Do I look like a psychic?
*Yuyuko: You don't like a psychic, no. But do you recognise the handwriting?
*Sanae: Not at all! I've never seen anything like it!
*Yuyuko: Well then, I guess that I have no choice but to open it. Let's see… "Dear Yuyuko…"
*Sanae: "…you have won first prize in our most amazing competition."
*Yuyuko: That was a competition?
*Sanae: What competition are they talking about?
*Yuyuko: Oh, just answering one little question. "Who is your favourite character from this book and why?"
*Sanae: Can I see your answer?
*Yuyuko: Of course you can. Though, I do have to concentrate on dinner...
*Sanae: Oh, right. In that case, I'll ask for the answer in the morning.
*Yuyuko: You can ask me at dinner, can't you?
*Sanae: I don't want you to have to show it to me at the dinner table.
*Yuyuko: Okay. You can wait until morning, right?
*Sanae: Of course!
===Rank B===
*Sanae: "Who is your favourite character from this book and why?"… why would you make a competition out of a question like that? I can hardly see what it would take to give a winning answer…
*Yuyuko: I've found it, Sanae! I've found it!
*Sanae: That's good! Here, let me see it!
*Yuyuko: Oh, but first, I need to tell you what book this was for.
*Sanae: I'm all ears.
*Yuyuko: The Golden Bookstore.
*Sanae: I've never heard of that book.
*Yuyuko: It's… about a girl who has a compelling need to collect every book in the world.
*Sanae: I see. Now, who's your favourite character?
*Yuyuko: It would have to be the main character, Beatrix.
*Sanae: Beatrix? As in Beatrix Potter?
*Yuyuko: No, not Beatrix Potter. Though that is who the character is based on…
*Sanae: Okay then. Now, would you mind letting me see why you like her so much?
*Yuyuko: Of course you can… oh my word, look at the time, we need to be seated for lunch!
*Sanae: (Oh, not again…)
===Rank A===
*Yuyuko: Sanae?
*Sanae: Yuyuko? You've come to tell me why you like Beatrix?
*Yuyuko: Yes. Now, where did I put that…
*Sanae: It's in my hands right now.
*Yuyuko: Ah. That certainly makes things simpler…
*Sanae: "Beatrix is my favourite character from "The Golden Bookstore" because of the way she is portrayed as relatable and very easy to believe as a character."
*Yuyuko: Yes, that's the main reason why I like her.
*Sanae: Because you relate to her?
*Yuyuko: Of course I do. Particularly regarding that scene where she wants to take all of the books out of her house to clear out the clutter…
*Sanae: Have YOU ever wanted to take out every book in your house?
*Yuyuko: Not books, necessarily, but clutter for certain.
*Sanae: What kind of clutter?
*Yuyuko: Finished cups of herbal tea, for starters. Believe me, I could have a hundred cups out and still take my time in clearing them up…
*Sanae: Uh, Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: What is it, Sanae?
*Sanae: I flicked through your answer, and it… takes up forty pages!
*Yuyuko: Well, they didn't give us a word limit…
*Sanae: Maybe everyone else thought there WAS a word limit. That might explain why you won the competition.
*Yuyuko: I'm sure the competition managers wouldn't discriminate against short explanations…
*Sanae: I certainly would.
==Sanae and Byakuren==
===Rank C===
*Sanae: Hmm… where's Byakuren? I swear that she was supposed to be making dinner today…
*Byakuren: Sanae?
*Sanae: Byakuren! I was looking for you!
*Byakuren: Is it because I'm supposed to be making dinner?
*Sanae: You read me like a book.
*Byakuren: I'm sorry, but I'm delaying dinner for a short while. I have other things to do.
*Sanae: What could be more important than our dinner?
*Byakuren: Our battle strategies.
*Sanae: Oh, of course! …but then again, we can survive without a strategy, can't we?
*Byakuren: Do you want for us to be grievously injured in battle?
*Sanae: Of course not! I just…
*Byakuren: Do you want to break the Moral Precepts?
*Sanae: Aren't we already breaking the Moral Precepts?
*Byakuren:: Yes, we are, though at least we're justified.
*Sanae: More justified than Chrom and Hyness, at least.
*Byakuren: Quite right.
*Sanae: But then again, Byakuren…
*Byakuren: What is it?
*Sanae: If you stand around all day, talking to me about being justified, then you're not getting our dinner or our strategies done, are you?
*Byakuren: Well, I… you're right, Sanae. I have no time for idle talking! I have dinner to make!
*Sanae: …and there she goes. Are all Buddhists this exuberant?
===Rank B===
*Sanae: Byakuren?
*Byakuren: What's this about, Sanae?
*Sanae: It's about these strategies that you wrote.
*Byakuren: Oh, I didn't write them. Takumi wrote them five days ago.
*Sanae: That'd explain the terrible handwriting… anyway, where's the strategy you wrote the other day?
*Byakuren: Ah, that! I can show it to you right now, actually…
*Sanae: Okay, let's see… "Do not allow the Pegasus riders to approach any archers"? "Consider equipping ranged weapons when near archers or mages"? Byakuren, this is fundamental knowledge!
*Byakuren: Well, it can't hurt to note the obvious, can it?
*Sanae: What happened to advanced battle tactics and getting out of tricky situations?
*Byakuren: Oh, I must not have been thinking hard enough when I wrote this…
*Sanae: Then how about if you write it again - but better?
*Byakuren: I'd be more than happy to, but I have urgent matters to attend to. Shou asked me to re-organise her equipment for her, and Nazrin wanted me to help her in hanging up the washing…
*Sanae: Okay… but don't forget about the rewriting, okay?
*Byakuren: I won't! …phew, that turned rather ugly. Now, are there any advanced tactics that spring to mind?
===Rank A===
*Byakuren: Sanae? Do you have a moment?
*Sanae: Of course! I just finished my room service shift, after all…
*Byakuren: It's about the battle strategies.
*Sanae: Let me guess. You couldn't think of any good tactics?
*Byakuren: I couldn't, no. After an hour of thinking, I still had nothing but a blank page.
*Sanae: Well, maybe it's safe to say that battle tactics aren't your strong point.
*Byakuren: Quite right.
*Sanae: But then again, everyone has strong and weak points, don't they? My weak point, for instance, would be that I can't hold a sword in one hand.
*Byakuren: And my weak point would be that I take too long to get seated on a Pegasus.
*Sanae: What happened to being bad at battle tactics?
*Byakuren: That, too. Though I'd argue that spending two minutes trying to mount a Pegasus is worse…
*Sanae: Does mounting a Pegasus usually take so long?
*Byakuren: It does if your Pegasus hates Buddhism.
*Sanae: Does it really?
*Byakuren: No. That was just a joke. Though I did see it trying to eat a Boddhi tree…
*Sanae: That's probably just diet problems.
==Sanae and Miko==
===Rank C===
*Miko: Five hundred and forty-two… five hundred and forty-three… five hundred and forty-four…
*Sanae: This is taking a long time, isn't it?
*Miko: Don't worry, I'm almost there. Just another two hundred and three Silver to go.
*Sanae: Cashing in Silver one coin at a time gets really tedious…
*Miko: You're right. Really, why can't we have coins worth larger amounts?
*Sanae: Hmm… you've just given me a brilliant idea, Miko!
*Miko: I have? What is it?
*Sanae: We can make a machine that gives us bank notes! Each of them could be worth… let's see… a hundred Silver each!
*Miko: That's a wonderful idea! Oh, and we can have my self-portrait on every single note!
*Sanae: Isn't that a little narcissistic?
*Miko: It's only natural. After all, I'm the one who came up with this idea.
*Sanae: ...okay. Maybe I can give Susie the idea?
*Miko: Susie? Why her?
*Sanae: Well, she could fit together a machine that produces the bank notes for us. Then all that's left is to set up a trading centre, and goodbye, handing in Silver by the coin!
*Miko: Wonderful! Magnificent! Exemplary! You must give her this idea at once!
*Sanae: Sure! But first, you need to give me another two hundred and three coins.
*Miko: And you need to refill my quiver of arrows in exchange.
===Rank B===
*Miko: Hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-hm-hm-hmm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-hm-hm-hmm...
*Sanae: Hi, Toyosatomimi no Bluebird!
*Miko: Ah, hello, Sanae. What's that behind your back?
*Sanae: Introducing… The Great Manual Printing Press!
*Miko: "Manual"? What does that word mean?
*Sanae: It means that you do it yourself! …uh, make the money yourself, that is.
*Miko: Ah! Susie fit this together, I take it?
*Sanae: Yep.
*Miko: How does it work?
*Sanae: Just push this button, and…
*Miko: …
*Sanae: …
*Miko: …and what?
*Sanae: Dang! There isn't any paper in it!
*Miko: Well, don't just stand there! Fill it up!
*Sanae: Okay! Just give me a few seconds!
*Miko: …
*Sanae: …I'm back!
*Miko: That was a bit more than a few seconds.
*Sanae: Well, sorry for the wait. I'll just put the paper in, and…
*Miko: My gods, this is wonderful! The portrait of my face has never looked finer than on paper money! Oh, I feel like Bassanio did when he found Portia's portrait!
*Sanae: …and I feel like Lorenzo did when Launcelot the clown called for him.
*Miko: We must show this paper money to the others! Then the trading of Silver will become a hundred times quicker!
*Sanae: (Will it?)
===Rank A===
*Sanae: Here, Lucina! Five of these notes amount to five hundred Silver! …what? You weren't told to accept this money? Well, I'm telling you-
*Miko: Sanae?
*Sanae: Oh, Miko! Lucina's not accepting my bank notes.
*Miko: Why, that's a shame. Of course, it will take some time before our new money system can be successful…
*Sanae: Say, where's The Great Manual Printing Press? I'm sure you left it in your bedroom…
*Miko: It is not The Great Manual Printing Press anymore.
*Sanae: What do you mean?
*Miko: It is now… The Great AUTOMATIC Printing Press! Not that I know what the word "automatic" means…
*Sanae: That means that the machine does things for you. How did you make it automatic, though? Did Susie give it an upgrade?
*Miko: You hit the nail on the head. Here, I've got the machine at the ready. If anyone would like the honours of turning the fan…
*Sanae: Allow me! *fwooooh*
*Miko: My, that was a good blow! We've already made ten new bank notes, each with my lovely visage!
*Sanae: Right. Your visage. Anyway, I think I can take this a step further!
*Miko: Wait, what do you mean-
*Sanae: Blizzard!
*Miko: Hold on! If you turn the fan too fast, the machine will-
*Sanae: Aaaaah!
*Miko: Aaaaah! My word, Sanae, what have you done?
*Sanae: Drowned the weapons shop in bank notes.
*Miko: Right... and The Great Automatic Printing Press is no more…
*Sanae: Hey, at least we've got some good out of this!
*Miko: What sort of good?
*Sanae: Well, we can go on a high-key spending spree!
*Miko: Right you are, Sanae! Now, Lucina, how many weapons will you give us for all the bank notes in this room?
==Sanae and Susie==
===Rank C===
*Susie: Now, let's see. I'll put this component with this component, flick the switch and… ugh! It failed! What am I missing?
*Sanae: Hey, Susie? What's that?
*Susie: Oh! It's an electrical circuit maker.
*Sanae: Dang, it's been a long time since I've played around with those…
*Susie: I thought electricity hasn't been discovered in Gensokyo?
*Sanae: Well, it hasn't, but I wasn't born in Gensokyo.
*Susie: Oh. Where were you born, then?
*Sanae: Lake Suwa. You definitely wouldn't have heard of that place…
*Susie: Okay. So, they had electricity at Lake Suwa?
*Sanae: Yep.
*Susie: Did you really own an electrical circuit maker once?
*Sanae: I did. But then I accidently dropped it all into the lake.
*Susie: Electricity and water don't mix, Sanae! You should know that!
*Sanae: Well, clearly little kid me didn't.
*Susie: Either way, do you think you can help me with this circuit?
*Sanae: I can try, that's for sure! …hmm, let me see… aha! The LEDs are the wrong way round!
*Susie: "The wrong way round"?
*Sanae: LEDs are diodes, aren't they? From what I remember, diodes only work one way.
*Susie: Oh, clever girl! I'll just flip them round, and… it works! The lights are on! The motor is spinning! The buzzer is doing my head in!
*Sanae: Mine, too! Quick, turn it off before somebody storms in and tells on us!
*Susie: Alright, will do! …ah, thank goodness that's over.
*Sanae: Yep… hey, what's going on?
*Susie: Footsteps. Somebody must be mad at us.
*Sanae: Who do you think it could be?
*Susie: Well, not Magolor or Taranza, as they don't have feet…
*Sanae: …not Reimu, as she's making dinner right now…
*Susie: Well, whoever it is, they have no idea what I'm doing! Electrical circuits are alien to them!
*Sanae: And when people don't understand something, they tend to destroy it, don't they?
*Susie: Depends on the person. Anyway, we've got to run! Oh, and take the circuit kit with us!
===Rank B===
*Sanae: Susie! Do you have a moment?
*Susie: I do. What's on your mind right now?
*Sanae: I found this in the lounge the other day.
*Susie: Here, let me see… oh my lord, that's the motor from my circuit kit!
*Sanae: You must have dropped it while we were running.
*Susie: You were the one holding the kit.
*Sanae: Correction, I must have dropped it while we were running.
*Susie: Where was it?
*Sanae: It was right near the stairs. Marisa found it at the same time as me, and she was about to turn it into the lost and found. But I stopped her by saying that I knew who it belonged to.
*Susie: You didn't need to do that, you know…
*Sanae: Well, either way, you would have been able to get your hands on it.
*Susie: Right. Which is why you didn't need to do that.
*Sanae: Well… sorry?
*Susie: All is forgiven. Now, can I have that back?
*Sanae: You're not making another circuit, are you?
*Susie: I am. I'm testing to see how the variable resistor affects the motor's speed.
*Sanae: I thought that the variable resistor only affects the brightness of bulbs?
*Susie: That's just what the instruction book says. I'm trying to see if there's truth lying otherwise.
*Sanae: Well, let me know when you find the answer, okay?
*Susie: Sure.
===Rank A===
*Susie: The instruction book was right, Sanae.
*Sanae: So the variable resistor only affects bulbs?
*Susie: Yes, and I know exactly why. The variable resistor increases resistance, and it's the voltage that determines how quickly the motor spins. So, I've considered ways to increase the voltage in the circuit…
*Sanae: How about adding more batteries?
*Susie: Hmm… good idea, but I don't have any more battery holders.
*Sanae: Darn.
*Susie: Hold on, though. If I follow the logic of Ohm's Law…
*Sanae: Ohm's Law?
*Susie: Voltage equals current times resistance. By that law, if I increase the resistance, I'll also increase the voltage… but if that was the case, the variable resistor should have been able to increase the motor's speed!
*Sanae: (I'm so confused right now…)
*Susie: So increasing the other variables can't be the answer. I have to find a way to boost the voltage! Does it mean that I have to make better batteries? Or should I find a way to improve my existing batteries?
*Sanae: I've no idea, Susie. All of this is going over my head.
*Susie: Welcome to my world, Sanae…
*Sanae: A world where nobody understands you or your problems?
*Susie: That's right. Although, I'm sure there's one person who can help…
*Sanae: Magolor! He built a flying ship, didn't he?
*Susie: You're right, Sanae! The Halcandrans are said to be technological geniuses!
*Sanae: Why don't you ask him for help? I'm sure he gets Ohm's Law - or whatever the silly thing's called! He could even make better batteries for you!
*Susie: Of course he could! Let's go, Sanae!
*Sanae: Go where? I don't think I know where Magolor is right now…
*Susie: He's doing room service.
*Sanae: Oh. Then there's no way of telling where he is!
*Susie: I know just what we'll do! Let's go into every room in camp and see how long it takes to find him!
*Sanae: …or we can wait for him to finish room service and then find him. It's more convenient that way - and less impolite.
==Sanae and Azura==
===Rank C===
*Azura: Hmm, hm-hm-hmm, hm-hm-hmm…
*Sanae: Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, hm-hm-hmm, hmm-hm, hmm-hm-hm-hmm…
*Azura: Sanae?
*Sanae: Oh! Azura! Sorry for humming your song…
*Azura: It's okay. Though… we'd best be humming in another room.
*Sanae: May I ask why?
*Azura: I can see Futo in the hallway. I've heard that she commits arson when she's driven off the edge…
*Sanae: …and humming is one of the things that drives her off the edge?
*Azura: Well, yes.
*Sanae: So we'd best get out of here! We don't want a house fire, do we?
*Azura: Of course we don't… by the way, Sanae?
*Sanae: Yes?
*Azura: How did you know the tune of my song?
*Sanae: How could I not? You hum it every day, don't you?
*Azura: Well, yes, though I'm normally on my own when I hum.
*Sanae: You were humming in the swimming pool while I was in the changing rooms.
*Azura: Well… I see where you're coming from. There's one complication, though.
*Sanae: Complication?
*Azura: I never go in the swimming pool itself. I only ever stand just outside it.
*Sanae: Oh.
*Azura: Sanae, something just dawned on me. Didn’t we plan to leave this room?
*Sanae: Well, yeah! We’ve stopped humming, so Futo shouldn’t commit arson…
*Azura: Actually, she might want to commit arson for other reasons.
*Sanae: I’ve never seen her commit arson before.
*Azura: That’s because she mostly does it on Buddhist temples.
*Sanae: That’s a crime against religion, isn’t it?
*Azura: Yes. Even though Futo herself is religious.
*Sanae: We should probably stop talking, Azura…
*Azura: Why? What’s your reason?
*Sanae: If Futo hears us saying that she’s a criminal against religion, she’ll… probably commit arson.
*Azura: You’re right. It’s time for us to flee.
===Rank B===
*Sanae: Okay! Futo out of sight… check! Good song on my mind… check! Overall feeling happy… check! Now to get star-
*Azura: Sanae!
*Sanae: Gah! Azura! I didn’t know you were in!
*Azura: Well, I certainly know how to give surprises.
*Sanae: Surprises, huh? …come to think of it, didn’t Takumi tell me that you used to tell horror stories to Sakura every night?
*Azura: Well, there’s certainly no denying that. But what does that have to do with surprises?
*Sanae: Because I’m surprised by how you, of all people, would attempt sibling torture!
*Azura: I wouldn’t call it sibling torture. She always wanted to know how my stories ended…
*Sanae: Letting her listen to those stories until the end is torture at its purest!
*Azura: That depends on the person in question.
*Sanae: But this is about someone who hates horror!
*Azura: Well, yes. That’s true.
*Sanae: Hmm… we’re not going anywhere with this argument, are we?
*Azura: No, we’re not. Do you think we should stop?
*Sanae: Yes. Besides, I think arguments is on the list of things that drive Futo round the twist… wait, Futo has a violin, doesn’t she?
*Azura: Yes, she does, but where are you going with this, Sanae?
*Sanae: What if I could borrow her violin and play music?
*Azura: I’m not sure she’d want to let it go so easily…
*Sanae: But my point is, we could start a band together! We could play your favourite song together! It would be so much fun!
*Azura: Really? You’d want to play Lost in Thoughts All Alone with me?
*Sanae: Of course! It’d be a wonderful duet! Everyone would love it… except Futo. She’d just want to commit arson.
*Azura: (I might commit arson if her glaring optimism lasts another minute…)
*Sanae: Well, do you think you can get your hands on an instrument?
*Azura: Well… Reimu has a koto, doesn’t she? I could loan it off her.
*Sanae: Alright! You won’t regret this, Azura. I promise!
*Azura: (We’ll both regret this if our camp goes up in blazes…)
===Rank A===
*Azura: Hmm, hm-hm-hmm, hm-hm-hmm…
*Sanae: Hi again, Azura.
*Azura: Oh, Sanae! I managed to rent Reimu’s koto.
*Sanae: That’s nice. I’ve got my hands on Futo’s violin – and she hasn’t found out yet!
*Azura: Let’s avoid playing our song to her. We don’t want any arson from her, do we?
*Sanae: Of course not! Say, what’s your plan for our performance?
*Azura: Let’s pass everybody’s bedroom and sing to them in the morning.
*Sanae: Except for Futo, of course.
*Azura: Right… by the way, I’ve gotten the lyrics ready for you.
*Sanae: Okay. Hey, why don’t we sing them right now? Just to get some practice in?
*Azura: I see nothing wrong with that. Mm-hmm… ♪ You are the ocean’s grey waves…
*Sanae: ♪ Destined to seek life beyond the shore…
*Azura: ♪ Just out of reach…
*Sanae: ♪ Yet the waters ever change…
*Azura: ♪ Flowing like time…
*Sanae: ♪ The path is yours to climb…
*Azura: That was very nice. You have a lovely singing voice, Sanae.
*Sanae: Aww, thank you! But just for the record, you’re the lovelier singer.
*Azura: Oh, Sanae, you flatter me.
*Sanae: Don’t worry about it. Besides, this song will sound even LOVELIER once we get the instruments out!
*Azura: You’re right, Sanae. And, now that I think about it, you were also right when I said that I wouldn’t regret this.
*Sanae: Well, you might regret it if Futo hears our song and commits arson. But yeah.
==Sanae and Lucina==
===Rank C===
*Sanae: My nerd glasses, my nerd glasses… where are my nerd glasses? I swear that they were here yesterday…
*Lucina: (What's Sanae doing? She looks like she's in distress. Should I help her?)
*Sanae: WAAAH! I CAN'T FIND MY NERD GLASSES!
*Lucina: Is something wrong, Sanae?
*Sanae: Oh, Lucina! Yes, something's very wrong! My nerd glasses have gone missing!
*Lucina: Your nerd glasses? Could you please explain what those are?
*Sanae: Sure! But first, do you know what regular glasses are?
*Lucina: Yes. In my home kingdom, a woman named Miriel wears them. She says that they make her eyesight better.
*Sanae: Right you are, Lucina! Though my nerd glasses don't make my eyes better. If anything, they make them worse…
*Lucina: Then what's the point in having them?
*Sanae: They make me look like a nerd… oh, you probably have no idea what the word "nerd" means. Sorry!
*Lucina: Would you care to explain?
*Sanae: Sure! If you're a nerd, it means that you're really clever, but people don't exactly like you for it.
*Lucina: That sounds exactly like Owain, come to think of it…
*Sanae: Yeah, I figured that he was a nerd from day one... but for different reasons than me. You see, he's only really nerdy about swordplay and legendary weapons.
*Lucina: You're right. Asides from that, he could use a little bit of work.
*Sanae: Well, at least he knows how to read, write and do maths.
*Lucina: …but not much else?
*Sanae: No, not really.
*Lucina: So, what makes you a nerd, Sanae?
*Sanae: Well, I'm a nerd about… uh… things from my world that you've definitely never heard of!
*Lucina: Oh… kay… say, Sanae?
*Sanae: Yes, Lucina?
*Lucina: Why don't we continue this discussion another day? I have to wash our clothes.
*Sanae: Alright. See you later, Lucina! Hopefully I'll have my nerd glasses back by then!
===Rank B===
*Lucina: Ah, there you are again, Sanae!
*Sanae: Hey, Lucina! Want to be educated more in the world of nerds?
*Lucina: That could be fun. Speaking of which, you haven't found those glasses of yours, have you?
*Sanae: Nope! Though I'm certain that they've been moved from my bedroom…
*Lucina: So, what do you have to say about nerds?
*Sanae: Well, now that I think about it, there are a LOT of nerds in our group, aren't there?
*Lucina: Asides from you and Owain?
*Sanae: Yeah! Oboro's a nerd about fashion, Susie's a nerd about her machines…
*Lucina: Come to think of it, what do you think it takes to be a nerd about something?
*Sanae: Well, you obviously have to be seriously devoted to something. Say, I can't call myself a nerd about cooking, because I only get to do it about once a month.
*Lucina: I see, but how much would you have to cook to be called a cooking nerd?
*Sanae: Every single day.
*Lucina: So, none of our people are nerds about cooking?
*Sanae: Oh, you never know. Maybe Byakuren makes all of the food for the Buddhists at Myouren Temple…
*Lucina: Actually, I believe Shou told me that she does the cooking and other housework at the temple.
*Sanae: That would be templework, not housework.
*Lucina: Templework, even. So perhaps Shou's secretly a nerd about cooking and housework?
*Sanae: Well, there's only one way to find out. Hey! Shou! How often do you do the cooking and housework in the temple?
===Rank A===
*Sanae: Alright, I can rule out Miko's room, I can rule out Futo's room… I haven't asked any of the boys yet, but I should probably save them for last because they're so messy…
*Lucina: Inigo isn't messy.
*Sanae: L-Lucina! Sorry about that, I was just…
*Lucina: …going off a stereotype, as Susie would say?
*Sanae: Yeah! Going off a stereotype!
*Lucina: Either way, I've been thinking about nerds since our last talk. I think I can name a fair few nerds from my home.
*Sanae: You can?
*Lucina: Hopefully. I'll start with my mother, Sumia. She's a nerd about flowers. She spends most of the day plucking petals off them to decide whether Chrom loves her or not…
*Sanae: With a husband like that, I don't blame her.
*Lucina: Why, you-
*Sanae: Okay, okay! Forget that I said anything!
*Lucina: I'll try. Anyway, my sister, Cynthia, would be a nerd about pegasi. I'd also say that she's a nerd about being a hero…
*Sanae: Sounds a bit like Owain to me.
*Lucina: Has Owain ever spent days trying to figure out the perfect thing to say before a fight?
*Sanae: I don't think so?
*Lucina: Well, there you go.
*Sanae: You know, I think I need to go. Taranza wanted me to practice magic with him, and I'm already a few minutes late…
*Lucina: Okay. Maybe we can talk about this later?
*Sanae: Sure! Bye, Luci- AAAH!
*Lucina: Sanae! Are you alright?
*Sanae: Yeah. A single trip won't be the death of me… hold on. Are these… yes! They're my nerd glasses! They were in the hallway all along!
*Lucina: Those are your nerd glasses? They look… very strange.
*Sanae: That's why they're called nerd glasses! If you look really closely, you can see Kanako in one eye and Suwako in the other!
*Lucina: Well, uh… that's interesting, but… I've got to get going, too. Marisa wanted me to play a card game with her…
*Sanae: Alright. I'll see you later!
*Lucina: I'll see you later, too. Bye, Sanae!
*Sanae: Bye, Lucina! Oh, and don't trip!
