Linali, my companion and I are in need of your assistance, if you are willing to provide it to us. You'll have to excuse me if you are alarmed by the fact that I know your name but you do not know mine or anything about me. I actually wouldn't have known it had Komui not bellowed it out like that. You may call me Ai. It is nice to meet you.

I understand that you are not willing to trust someone who is faceless, and lacking any identification when making a request. ...Therefore, I am going to be honest with you, because what I need the most right now is some cooperation.

My companion and I have both been in danger for quite some time now, and not just from the monsters. Since the time I have arrived to Discedo, a number of people have shown some hostility toward him, leading him to take on drastic measures in order to ensure his own safety and injuring himself in the process. If it wasn't for people like Nani and Dr. Simon Tam, we might not have been able to make it this far... But for the moment, he and I both still remain defenseless. Linali, I am asking you to please escort my companion and I to St. Andrew's Hospital. I am aware that it is a dangerous mission, and so I will not look badly on you if you choose to refuse.

We are running out of time, and the streets are becoming more hazardous as time goes on. Please consider this request.

I was going to try to head to head to the store in order to retrieve some supplies this morning, but now I am going to hold off seeing as how those terrible beasts are prowling outside. Does it have anything to do with that roar that was heard several days ago...? It seems that a lot of terrible things seem to live underneath the city streets. It kind of makes one feel a little uneasy.

Sai has been recovering from his injuries, and that has given me time to think. There is something important that I must do soon, and it makes me feel both very anxious and hopeful for what may lie ahead. I just hope that everything is able to go smoothly, and that neither of our lives are placed in danger. - I have also been given the opportunity to see who my allies and enemies are in something of an experiment. The lines are not drawn so clear, but I have been able to learn a lot in the process.

Hopefully, all will become clear with time.

....If you're looking to get to a safe place, the hospital isn't one of them. It hasn't been cleared out and that is where monsters gather. May I ask why you want to go there?

I know that, and that is why I decided to act so cautiously in the first place... If you do not understand what I mean, then it is not important that you know now.

But the reason I wish to go there is because I am being trusted to perform a surgery in order to remove my companion's chip. I lost the tools I once had when I was brought over to this world-since it all happened so fast-, and that is the only place where I might be able to recover some.

Not only that, but a number of people do not feel that it would be right for me to peform this surgery, considering my companion a danger when part of his abilities will allow him to heal from some injuries he recieved upon arriving to Discedo. I am... very aware of the danger, but if I must take on those risks in order to help someone who is important to me, then I will.

..If I'm going to help you, wouldn't it be best I know?

Who is your companion and who didn't feel it was right to remove the chip? I would like to know before I say yes or no. I won't risk unleashing something that could hurt everyone, I'm sorry but I have people important to me too.

Very well. If that is what it will take to gain your cooperation...

I am "I", the one who resquested information on St. Andrew's Hospital without revealing my identity to the public. I did this not for my own sake, but for Sai, my companion. I did this because I felt that if I revealed the whole truth, those who wished to capture Sai would surely oppose us and try to keep us both from obtaining our goals.

I have placed my trust in you by revealing this information to you, Linali. You may do with it as you like, but you will not gain a friend in me if you choose to inform Ashelin and Sonic's allies of our mission. ...If he is to be considered a danger, then it was only because he was treated with such hostility upon arriving to this world. - I was not able to protect him then.

...

You said regenerating from his injuries was only part of his power. What is his power? Like Dr. Tam I'd like to know, because if you are wrong and people get hurt... I will be responsible. I'm sorry to be so distrusting, but I can't go into this blindly and I have been decieved before.

*Ai is quiet for a moment before she finally begins.* ...I cannot say for certain. That is not a lie.

Sai, "Kaitou X"... These are only names that have been given to Sai by the mass media in our world. His real name and his original potential have been lost with time. Now he is continuously evolving, and is always trying to find out who he really is before he loses all sense of himself. It has also become my goal to help him find that answer as well, and I've given my him my life so that he can finally see it through.

...Do not misunderstand. You are merely an escort, our arms and legs while we are unable to fight for ourselves with our abilities suppressed. If I am forced to fight alone to protect him, then I will. - Otherwise, I ask that you believe in me.

...[She's silent for a few moments, before she speaks.]

I know I'll merely be your escort. ...I believe in you, I'll help you.

Thank you... We will arrange to meet at Horton Lane before nightfall. I am going to have to talk to Sai about planning out the finer details.
