Alex: [grumble grumble grumble]

Integra: Kim — Sailor Ghoul — how do you feel?

Kim: I…I’m myself again, but different…am I dead? I can’t go home, can I?

Integra: No, you can’t.

Kim: can I stay here? you have a big house…

Integra: We can arrange that.

Kim: what’ll happen to my family?

Integra: …We’ll figure out something.

Kim: this isn’t what I thought being a sailor knight would be like…I figured it would be fun, like that video game…

Integra: Let’s go to my office. We’ll explain everything.

Kim: you have your own office? cool!

Alex: …so the only real enigma is that masked vampire?

Integra: We can’t discern his motives.

And yet…and yet, I think he’s on our side. Not just because he’s saved my life a few times, either. I feel…safe with him. Like he couldn’t hurt me, even if he wanted to. Like he would protect me from anything, if it were in his power to do so.
