Ming: Damn it… Even after all of that, they're still…
Sectonia: Is something wrong?
Ming: Don't give me that! You know exactly what I'm talking about here! He was right there… I thought it would be possible, but…
Sectonia: Are you still going on about that? You sound like you're out for blood.
Ming:...! Ah, so-sorry. I kinda sounded like Juvia for a moment. It's just that...while you were at the top of the Dreamstalk, I was pretty much David's moral support.
Sectonia: So that was it… It seemed I worried him more than everyone else.
Ming: I don't blame him. I mean, you were pretty much the best thing that happened to him. And I couldn't stand seeing him all depressed like that. I was moved by his philosophy of beauty. That's what made me join him. I wanted to help in any way I could…
Sectonia: And that's why I should thank you.
Ming: Huh? But I tried to kill you once! How can you forgive that so easily?
Sectonia: Because I understood why you wanted to kill me. However, if you weren't by David's side throughout the ordeal, he would've completely broken down along the way.
Ming: Oh, I get it. Whew, I can finally put all this love rival thing to rest. You… do love David, right?
Sectonia: You've been taking advice from Juvia, have you?
Ming: Of course I have. And believe me, trying to make him move on to me was more harmless than what she had planned for you.
Sectonia: Indeed. I doubt any girl giving him looks would come out unscathed if it came to that.
Ming: Point is...I love him too. But its hard if you both share the same feelings.
Sectonia: I know how that feels. Given how the whole thing played out the first time, I thought I would be incapable of genuine love. But him… He didn't care about any of that. He saw me for who I really was and spent every waking moment trying to ease me of my burden. Maybe that's why I found myself attracted to him. His philosophy was what helped me get back on my...well, feet. Honestly, I can't tell if it should be metaphorical or literal now.
Ming: We both know only one of us will claim him. So...may the best woman win. Him and his philosophy.
Sectonia: I will be looking forward to that. (She seems rather serious about that.)
