Hikaru: You people might've thought . . . out of which so-and-so games, who's the better swordsman, mage, long/short range fighter, etc . . . but dost thou thought of this?

Zelos: So, Tear, you're the healer of the Abyss team?
Tear: Yes.
Natalia: I can serve as a backup healer in case Tear needs to replenish her energy.
Jade: Forgive me, Princess, but normally you use up your energy with your archery. I'm afraid once Tear cannot cast any longer, we're all doomed.
Natalia: . . .
Zelos: Anyway! You don't seem like a generic healer, Tear.
Tear: How do you mean?
Zelos: Well, in most other teams, a healer is a beautiful woman--hey, you're beautiful! Don't get mad, my Yulian hunny! But most other healers can't hold up in a fight without their teammates, as they only have support magic. But DAMN, Tear, you really can fight!
Anise: She is in the Oracle Knights. There's no knight that can't hold their own in a fight.
Genis: Hah, don't go counting Raine out, Zelos.
Zelos: Her Highness isn't the generic healer, either.
Lloyd: But the Professor needs us to protect her, Zelos.
Zelos: No, that's not it. The healer of the team is supposed to be hopelessly in love with the hero of the team, and Raine isn't . . .
Lloyd: Uh . . . I'd rather . . . pass on going out with my teacher, thanks.
Jade: Indeed. Student-teacher relationships often end up in hot water and gain disdain from the general public.
Genis: Raine, going out with Lloyd? That's just too weird . . .
Zelos: I wasn't talking about Lloyd . . .

Hikaru: I have another "healer" episode planned, so stay tuned!
