He says that he was just talking to someone they did not know, and they would not let him beat them. When he tells her that it is for her, she tells him that she wants to see him for a bit. She says that she put her feelings in everything she does, and she thinks that he is the one she matched her stride to. He asks her if she wants something to drink and she says that they have a lot left of soda. She asks him if he wants to be her any more and he says that if she won't, he will.
