▶️
 I think Gale is on to something. By upgrading Portia's infrastructure, we can really jump start the surrounding economies as well.
▶️
 Being in Vega 5 all the time is kinda suffocating. Everyone is all high and mighty about how the city is the center of science in the Free Cities. Come on! We're just digging up trash and trying to figure out what it does.

 I've been to Sandrock a few times, don't remember much other than it being really, really, really hot.
 I'm feeling drowsy again today...
 Huh, I lost track of time again...but I got everything ready ahead of schedule.
 How do I fall asleep standing up? I dunno, it just...happenzzzz....
 Thanks for always helping out. I doubt Portia would be making half as much progress without you.
 The mood here is totally different from Vega 5. Everyone seems so relaxed here.
 Engineering isn't much different from building, really. It's just a matter of project scale.
Friend

 Do you like sports? I used to be really into basketball. When I would shoot, I would hit nothing but net! Heh.
 You're so busy every day...don't forget to rest, yeah?
 I've known Mr. Gale since I was young. I'm glad he's doing better than he was back then.
 Talking to you is like waking up after a good sleep. I always feel refreshed after.
Boyfriend

 I was alone a lot when I was young. I really am lucky to have people like you and Mr. Gale's family in my life.
 We should hang out when you have time, I'd really like that.
 Did I tell you that I saw you in a dream once? In it, we-- uh. Nothing. Forget about it.
 This is my first time in a relationship, I hope I can be a good boyfriend. You can tell me when I'm not up to standard.
Sweetheart

 Let me know if anything is bothering you. I want to be able to help you as well.
 I've had nightmares lately of something happening to you while I'm away...please don't work too recklessly.
 I want to be someone you can rely on. I don't want you to regret choosing me.
 I didn't think much of you when we met...but since then, you've become something like family to me. It's nice.
 It's kind of strange, always thinking of you when I'm working...It feels like you're always by my side.
Spouse

 Leave the housework to me. I'm way ahead of schedule and I'm sure you have some commissions to do.
 Sometimes I wake up thinking this is all a dream...but then I see you, and I remember how lucky I am to have met you.
 Being married is more fun than I'd expected...but I never feel like I spend enough time with you. Is that selfish?
 ...I've realized. So long as I'm with you, I think any place could feel like home. I would be happy in Sandrock, Vega 5 or Portia...so long as you're there with me.
Soulmate

 I think I could travel the world and not find another person like you. It really was fortunate that we crossed paths here.
 I grew up in an orphanage at Vega 5. Their education and management were extremely strict. The children from there were assigned to the local government and research institutes.
Jealous

 ...So this is what it feels like to be betrayed. Was it because I'm not good enough? Let me know!
Unhappy

 I always thought that I would end up with a happy family, in the end it's just a passing dream.
Nemesis

 Oh, so it's this nightmare again...wait, I'm awake, aren't I? Go away.
 What do you want?
 Don't you have someone else to bother?
