Not a lot of people are willing to share, unless they have a reason. I wonder if there's a way to build trust...

[cyclists]

Trust is tricky because it's just as easy to lose it as it is to gain it. [He brings a hand to his chin to think.] Working together and training as a team might help. If everybody's on the same page, there's more of a reason to share what you know in other ways.

[stillstands]

Some of us have been having sword lessons from Milla and Okurikara. I wonder if we could make that into a bigger exercise and include more people.

[cyclists]

It wouldn't hurt. There's a few other sword users among you guys aren't there?

[stillstands]

Mm. I'm learning from Milla, and I'm fairly sure if she wanted to plan a team building exercise, no power anywhere would be able to stop her.

[cyclists]

Then maybe make Milla your point of contact. She's pretty well-liked. I can't imagine people saying no to her.

[He's also biased, he likes Milla a lot.]

[stillstands]

[ Milla is a very good destruction girl. ]

I don't think she'd let them say no to her, really.

[cyclists]

Then there you go. Start with that, and see what you can do to build up trust and try other things.

[stillstands]

Yeah. Even if she's kind of unconventional, she does always try to do her best.

[cyclists]

Sometimes unconventional's the way to go. You can't always follow the rules, can you?

[stillstands]

I don't think rules can apply to everything. If there was ever a time we needed to think outside the box, it'd be now.

[cyclists]

[A nod.] Just make sure everybody else feels the same way. It's the only way to get out of here.

[Being flexible, think outside of the box, etc.]

[stillstands]

Do we have a choice? If we want to catch this thing off guard and beat it, we're going to have to get creative, I think.

[cyclists]

There's always a choice, Miki. Some people can choose to act, and others can choose to not.That's the thing.

So. It's about what choice you're going to make next.
