[ It's cozy. ]

That's right.

[midway]

You're tougher than you look.

[ Sighs. ]

Well, there's not much to say. It was fairly unexciting, tutoring, training... Your typical noble upbringing.

[fightolive]

Hmm... I don't know any nobles, so I don't know what's typical.

[midway]

It's not particularly exciting. You're usually kept within the estate, and exposed only to what your family deems fit.

[ He shrugs. ]

It's easy to form an extremely biased view of the world.

[fightolive]

Hm...

[ She'll allow that. ]

Alright, what do you want to ask?

[midway]

[ Hehe. ]

Why were you so often in danger?

[fightolive]

I was born to fight.

[midway]

Well, that's vague. So your parents decided to have you with a specific purpose?

[fightolive]

I don't have parents. I never have.

[midway]

Okay... What makes you suited to fight then?

[fightolive]

How much do you know about genetic engineering?

[midway]

... Basically nothing.

[ he doesn't even know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell ]

[fightolive]

That makes it hard to explain...

If I make it simple... with bio engineering you can design a person and alter aspects about them to your liking.

[midway]

I see.

So you were altered to excel at fighting? And in return, you have this illness.

[fightolive]

Right.

[ A bad deal, but nothing she can do about it. ]
