[A deep dark cellar, and...a memory. A woman in chains, kissing, and horror, a twisting horror from that alone, before angry tears in the rain give way to a bout of laughter.]
[She...doesn't understand it all. Why...there? Why trap her there? For what? Torture? Hot Pants blinks, furrowing her eyebrows, before turning to Nogiku.]
...I'm sorry that...your mother had to go through such suffering.
The expression on Nogiku's face is furious. Though it isn't really Hot Pants' fault.]
... I appreciate your condolences, but I don't want them. My mother died a miserable, undignified death, and only one thing will put her soul to rest now.
[She really isn't. It only confirms what that memory was suggesting.]
I'm sure you know a thing like that will destroy you. But its not my place to say whether its the right or wrong thing to do. You do what you feel you need to, in this life.
I'm fighting to keep something out of the hands of someone who would abuse it to hurt and kill others for his own needs. I'll do anything to prevent that from happening.

Is "revenge" that one thing?

The monster that ruined my mother gave birth to an even worse abomination. I'm the only one who can stop her.

But, even knowing that, I can't allow more women to fall victim to that awful ability... You have a reason to risk your life, too, right?

[She understands that, and respects it, too.]

Then, I would say our motivation hails from similar places.

[Solidarity, indeed.]
You're a strong woman, Nogiku.
