[ Ambrosia turned to give Ako a genuine smile, bringing her feet up to sit on the bed. ]

Th' reason I'm sayin' this is 'cause I tried t' be too strong when I was little. Y'see, me mum - great woman, lemme tell ye - ended up dyin' due t' some kind of disease 'n I could tell me father was tearin' up inside when nothin' we did worked t' save her. So, I was forced t' be th' strong one 'cause he wasn't gonna have th' crew lecturin' him all of a sudden.

So, I cried at nights 'cause I saw me father upset 'n I didn't know what t' do t' fix it t' make him happy again. I felt more like a grown-up tryin' t' fill in some pretty big shoes with th' weight of responsibility on me shoulders. But, th' point is with all this is don't be afraid t' make mistakes, scrape yer knees, 'n whatnot, 'kay? I want t' see ye be happy 'round here, too.
