Sighing, he said, "I can understand if you want to swindle the enemy, making them think that you care for nothing, so that they won't hurt your mother because of you. But if that's not the case, I'll be honest… I must change my opinion of you."

Sally snorted. "What? Perhaps you think a person who doesn't care for their mommy is cruel and cold-blooded, and being friends with them makes you a villain too?"
