put a little steinback into it

Your sister? Is she alright?

[Of course she's not alright, but it's better simply to be "not alright" than dead.]

...It sure is. It's one thing to have corporate espionage, but to do something like this is...well, evil. It's evil.

[His loathing for the Company and the Nines grows every day. He sees her tense, and there's a pang of sympathy - he knows how she feels. He's in the Resistance for his family, too. Their motivations are quite alike.]

Ha, I feel the same way, you know. [He narrows his eyes.] My family has been working for ages for something they'll never get. I can't just stand aside and watch them suffer.

[A nod.]

Your heart is in the right place, Lapis. If we can do this and succeed, we can get justice for the people we love the most in this world.

[He pauses, before reaching over a hand to gently place on top of her hand, giving it a slight comforting squeeze.]

...I'll get you in. I think we'd be more than happy to have you help.
