We just like jewelry. Screw a complicated web of social manipulation -- we're Bat-Elodie!
"But I appreciate presents. Doesn't everyone?"
Not helping the whole "grim avenger" thing, hun.

Earliest concensus has us doing sports. Sporting awaaaay!
And we're not playing forever alone. Yay!
(Also, the music for the Sports is really odd.)
Our skills.
Wow. Elodie knows nothing about trade. What sort of boarding school did she go to?

At least she's less smug-looking...Also, isn't she about our dad's age? She looks maybe a few years older than Elodie...Silly anime artstyle.

This is also the first time we have the option to start killing people, so that's a thing.
