"You don't seem like a ribbons fighting type," Alice agrees. Sure, maybe someone who just saw this girl and knew she'd fight somehow would get that idea, but considering the girl's interest in her knife back when they met and some of the things they've spoken about.. Definitely not a ribbons type.

"I can imagine it's probably fairly frustrating to see yourself fighting and failing," since the girl did say that the bug ate her, right? "when it's not even really you. You ought to at least be allowed to make your own choices in battle."
