...Nick cared about what happened to you a lot, you know. [Where is she going with this?] Did he ever tell you?

[miscakes]

[Where is she going with this? He gives her a look.]

He pitied me. As if I'm someone who needs to be saved. [Disdainfully, and a little matter-of-factly. Like Peach is the one who has it wrong.] Why bring it up now? He's dead.

[cluedin]

...I dunno. Maybe because you're kind of an idiot if you thought of it as pity? [Hm.]

[miscakes]

[A scoff.]

Then you haven't seen what he wrote about me.

[He's a dumb bitch, Peach. I'm so sorry.]

[cluedin]

What was so offensive about what he wrote? What did he say?

[miscakes]

I already told you what he wrote. He believed I need to be saved, when we have far greater concerns right now.

[cluedin]

Phoenix believed that of everyone, that's why he was someone we chose when things started to look really bad! It's not pity when he wanted to save everyone. Isn't that part of the greater concerns in the first place?

[miscakes]

Releasing our companions from the house's hold is a different matter entirely.

[cluedin]

They're technically one in the same. Same goal, same methods, but how you approach it may influence the outcome.

[A pause.] ...is that what you want? Releasing everyone else.

[miscakes]

Of course. Isn't that our primary goal?

[cluedin]

Of course it is, but it's just...I've never been quite sure if you want the same thing as the primary goal. You seem to be focused on your own goals.

[miscakes]

... Oh? And what are my goals, exactly?

[cluedin]

I always figured it was what suited you most instead of a combined effort. Am I wrong?

[miscakes]

That's a method, Peach-san, not a goal.

[cluedin]

What, like they aren't the same in the end?

[miscakes]

Of course not. You can achieve the same goal through a number of different methods. The means does not change the end result.

[cluedin]

...are your methods working as they are now?
