[Tohko backed up a bit, her smile gone. This guy..he wasn't like Wilhelm..but he definitely reminded her of Hagire without the blood. This..wasn't good, not at all. She was only allowing herself to be associated with Wilhelm because she knew that they had the same goals, even if he had different methods and had lost his hope in humanity.

..She wasn't sure if she wanted to be a chess piece in this guy's game.]

I wouldn't, actually. Actually, for the majority of the time, I help and support others. There are times when I break down and they help me, but it's purely of their own free will, and they usually don't get anything out of it-except knowing that I'm okay. I won't deny that you can better understand a person from observing them and talking with them, but friendship isn't just a nice way to say that you're using each other. After all, there are some people here that I might be able to use, but since I hate them, there's no way I would get involved with them.

I'm not going to throw away my compassion. Once you start tossing out one emotion, the rest might slowly follow, even if I don't realize it. I know that there are terrible people in this Tower. I've encountered them and fought a few others, but that hasn't changed my views on friendship at all.

I will help you with some things if you need it. However, I'm not quite willing to be used in your chess game, since I have no idea what your goals are yet.
