Hello, Monika... [ Chariot returned that smile with one of her own, lip quivering slightly as she finally let go of her own hands, pulling off her hat with one and straightening out her skirt with the other, letting out a long, nervous sigh. ]
The reality is... it's ultimately just a name and appearance. 'Ursula' as an identity is still... me. I'm still the anxious, clumsy disaster you've known this whole time. Whatever... 'shine', 'Chariot' used to have is... dim, now, and no change of name really brings it back but...
[ A deep breath. ]
I've seen you shine so, so brightly since you came here, and it's... inspired me to shine a little bit more, myself. So if you want... if you want to think of me as something close, something like...
Like family...
Then...
[ Then what? She was barely managing to put her words together here. ]
