I will consider the things you've said. [She means this. She wouldn't be a good leader if she wasn't open to opposing arguments and ideas. It is true that Reeve is responsible for her own decisions and feelings. She knows she tends to depersonalize her at times because of her role as a Shinra executive, but she is trained to act toward the executives in a certain way. And to never harm them. And not acting a certain way because of the Queen might not be the best way to express her free will. She will consider it.]

Yes. I know you. Another woman would be more likely to fulfill the emotional component of your desire.

You may ask me whatever you wish, Reeve. [Yet she hesitates again, briefly. She looks away, not nervously, but thoughtfully. From where she stands, she can see the relatively small sword that had belonged to the child version of herself that was so briefly here.] I was never like other people. I was always apart. Until I joined SOLDIER. I can connect to my comrades in ways I cannot connect to others. Yet even after I had joined SOLDIER, though I felt I was in my proper place, I did not form what I would call a true emotional bond until I met Angeal and Genesis.
