Roselyn: Ah’m… Ahem… I mean, I… apologize for the outburst.

Trace: No, no! It’s fine! Honestly, I’m happy to see a less formal side of you.

Trace: You don’t have to put on an act for my sake!

Trace: From everything I’ve heard about my old self, working for me couldn’t have been easy. If I ever hurt you, I’m sorry. I don’t want you to be afraid to speak your mind to me now. I won’t get mad, I swear.

Trace: And I promise, I’ll do whatever I can to make up for the things I’ve done.

Roselyn: U-uh…

Roselyn: You… have no idea how weird it is to hear you talk like that. You really aren’t the old Trace I knew. Over the years, I’ve learned to never get my hopes up, but..

Roselyn: …What the heck. Call me Rose.

Roselyn: Although, as long as we’re being honest, just between you and me… The “act”… Secretly… Ah kinda get a kick outta it. You know, playin’ the stern old lady. It’s usually the only fun I can get, so I’d like it if you didn’t let on otherwise.

Trace: Oh, o-of course! …Rose.
