Zinnia: When my time with all four of you is done, I want you to take my polearm.
Zinnia: I am choosing you as my heir.
Manzana: What if I refuse?
Zinnia: You’d like to save yourself and your mother, yes?
Zinnia: Then you need the strength and guidance to do it.
Zinnia: Once Geezer finishes his trial, I’ll have him pass it along. It’ll allow me to stay close to your entire group.
Manzana: Can’t you knock some sense into her?
Zinnia: Maybe… but I think she’s aiming to usurp me more than anything.
Zinnia: I’d rather not find out the hard way if I’m quite honest.
Zinnia: So with that all said, I have more faith in you.
Zinnia: A challenge from me is a reason to stray further from the light. Her namesake rebelling against her ambition, a reason to cut off from the family as a whole.
Platino: From us it’d be better?
Zinnia: I’d be proof she raised you to have a spine.
Platino: I hate that you’re probably right on that.
Manzana: Same.
Platino: Don’t think I could take her but… if Manzana is in I am too.
Platino: Whatcha think?
Manzana: I want a better plan.
Platino: The others could help us…
Manzana: Maybe.
Platino: I don’t want to run away…
Manzana: I know.
Manzana: I’m going to talk with everyone.
Manzana: Can’t let my mom go off any deeper. Not for their sake or ours.
Manzana: And especially not hers.
Platino: Yeah.
Platino: You think we can really save her?
Manzana:.... I’ll have to think on that but.
Platino: But it’s worth a shot?
Manzana: It’s that or we let it happen.
Zinnia: Well spoken…
Zinnia: I’ve said what I’ve needed to, are you all done?
Manzana: Got a question actually.
Manzana: One in private.
Manzana: After that, you can send Geezer in.
Zinnia: Hmm… okay.
Manzana: You… got experience with relationships yeah?
Zinnia:... Ah. I suppose we can have a little talk there. What do you need?
Manzana: Well…
