[ Maybe that's an hair bow thing. They have this much in common, if nothing else. Regardless, Monika seems reassured at what Aerith replied. She smiled though at the words of warning. ]

Don't worry. [She paused.] I may not look like it, but I'm not entirely unaccustomed to weird things.

[ Understatement. Not that kind of weird things, but... Well, after what she'd gone through, she was quick to adapt. And if the "spirit" had been her- Well, she hoped she would have been put out of her misery. Allowed to rest in peace. Not just driven away. It was a selfish way to think perhaps... But her experiences had given her some new perspective on things. ]

I think I'll be good now. Unless you hear me screaming, then that means something went wrong ahaha! [She closed her eyes and beamed.] Thanks, Aerith.

[ That's a new friend and a seemingly reliable person, right? Well, maybe not friends yet... She's not exactly the most social of butterflies. ]
