Manzana: You’re going to ask me to fight my mother.
Zinnia: It’s unavoidable that you’ll have to confront her at some point.
Zinnia: I hate to speak in such definitives but…
Zinnia: I feel it coming one way or another.
Zinnia: Your safety and that of your friends will one day be determined by such a task.
Manzana: I just met most of them.
Platino: Geezer’s in there.
Manzana: Geezer’s smart, he’ll figure it out.
Platino: I get that you don’t want to fight her, I don’t either you know?
Manzana: I know.
Platino: But.. I wanna protect those people. They’re good folks as far as I can tell.
Platino: Geezer looks out for you, and Charon’s my friend you know?
Platino: You both got a lot in common, think you’d get along.
Manzana: Not over the nerve he had.
Platino: The contract? Yeah I.. he didn’t mean wrong at all.
Manzana: He’s been through the same shit, you’d think he’d be better about that?
Manzana: I’m so sick and tired all the time and one bad handshake’s all it took.
Platino: I mean…
Manzana: Everytime someone promises me something big it blows up in my face. I’m done.
Platino: I know. But..
Platino: We wouldn’t both be here like this without that, you know?
Platino: I don’t wanna think about a world where I’m alone like that.
Manzana: What do you mean?
Platino: Don’t know if I could’ve gotten through all of our mom’s shit without you.
Platino: Much as the contract did a number on is… it kept us safe you know?
You linger on that for a moment and realize your mistake.
Manzana: It did. You do a lot for me, can’t really thank you enough.
Manzana: And I’m sorry about going off.
Manzana: Whole thing did hurt me a lot, but…
Manzana: Also couldn’t get through all that without you. At all.
Platino: I love you man.
Manzana: ….
Manzana: Me too.
Manzana: I just…
Platino: I get it.
Manzana: Mom’s fucked up, really fucked up you know?
Platino: Yeah.
Manzana: And I know I can be like her too.
Manzana: I got my rough edges, I’m bad with people, I’m scared of my own shadow.
Platino: Not scared of me.
Manzana: Guess not but you’re a lot more than that.
Manzana:I just..
Manzana: I want her to get help.
Manzana: The idea of having to fight her.. If we lose we’re done.
Manzana: And the only way to win… I don’t want to hurt.
Manzana: Because hurting her makes me feel like she can’t be saved.
Manzana: I don’t like to think that there’s people like that.
Platino: Me neither.
Manzana: Because then.. Maybe I’m one of those too..
Manzana:...
You turn toward Zinnia.
Manzana: You’ve gone all quiet for a bit now.
Zinnia: Don’t really have much to say just yet.
Zinnia: Feel confident enough in you two. Truth be told, I think you both need to figure out most of it between both of you.
Zinnia: You have good heads on your shoulders.
Manzana: Is that it then? You wanted us to talk to each other?
Zinnia: Still plan to give you advice, and a gift to make the upcoming trials easier.
Zinnia plants a weapon on the ground, a family relic.
Manzana: What are you doing?
Zinnia: You fixed me up and woke me from my slumber.
Zinnia: I’m trusting you with my life.
Zinnia: It’s unavoidable that you’ll have to confront her at some point.
