You already have my approval, Milliardo and your hard work definitely shows and is appreciated by the people who know you here. [Treize hesitates a moment before he does speak again.]

You don't need to try so hard with me. All I want from you is your company in whatever form or fashion is most comfortable for you, be it just sparring and friendship as we had before our paths diverged. I never thought any less of you, not even during those final days. [Because that had been his fault in more than one way as well, given the nature of Epyon.]

You being by my side is all I've ever wanted from you, Milliardo.
