[It stuns White into silence, throat tightening up, and she swallows hard. Not able to look at Silver anymore.]

A lot of people have told me things like that. That they think I'm a good person, a hero, someone that's as decent as them. And I really wish I could agree. But... I don't think I've felt like a good person since before that night three years ago.

[feistytrader]

...You're making some tough choices for someone you care about. I don't know if you're doing the right thing, but I think you're a good person.

[If anything, this conversation's made that much clear; there's a difference between what you are and what you do.]

[barredheart]

[... Would he still think that if he knew?

She almost wants to test it now, just to tell him why she's not a good person and how there's not a shred of hope for her in that regard, how heartless Junko Enoshima had commented on her being.

But White shrugs, forcing a little laugh.]

Well, I guess it's nice that someone can still say that. [... Anyway.] You, um, seem to be handling envy pretty well, so... taking the cleanser probably isn't necessary. If you want, you can.

[feistytrader]

I'm bitter about everything under the sun, but I can handle it.

[He should handle it, even. Some of those negative emotions he can't really handle, but... He has to stop avoiding them, right? It's okay to feel them in moderation.

...Sadness and hatred both suck.]

[barredheart]

Okay. Then, we're done! Thanks a lot for your help, Silver, I know it hasn't been the most pleasant experience.

[For either of them, though with that done... her jittery feelings about the campaign are coming back, crackling starting to pop to life.]

[feistytrader]

No problem.

[He's stuck it through all seven, and... Really, it could have been worse.]

...Are you going to try them out on anyone else?

[barredheart]

I don't know. I probably should, but I'd want to run them by Jude first since he'd want to look at them... but something tells me he wouldn't be too happy about me making them in the first place.

[Not with how the Arehtei are.]

Why do you ask?

[feistytrader]

I know a guy that might like to try them.

[...That he's still apparently super mad at, but.]

[barredheart]

[Like... to try negative emotions...

...

...

Okay.]

I'll give you a box of them, then. Just a moment!

[She needs to fill a small crate with a sample of each -- marked with their names this time -- along with their corresponding cleansers.]
