Aurora: "You do not need to hack off her toes? From the notes that is what it seems like."
Dani: "There will be no hacking, cutting, chopping, or slicing of anyone's body parts."
Aurora: "Tell me the details about how this boat went from Scotland to Japan instantaneously."
Dani: "In a sec, and as to your other thing, one day I won't be hacking off Orwell's fingers."
Aurora: "Then instead, you need a biological sample from this woman's feet to get us started?"
Dani: "That's true. Alright, Aurora, you seem to be getting it. What else have you learned?"
Aurora: "From the passage that was on the laptop, as it is known, we will be visiting an author."
Dani: "Her name's Petal. She's famous for creating a true immersive story experience."
Aurora: "I saw the title was 'Perpetual Emotion Machine.' What is Miss Petal like in person?"
Dani: "Actually, I haven't met her. I'm quite curious how she and the other people appear."
Aurora: "What? You should have met her earlier when you asked for body scrapings last time."
Dani: "I didn't do any so-called scrapings with her. We are in the year 2088, not my time."
Aurora: "Where, or when, are you from? I do not understand how you could have begun this."
Dani: "Toru was the person who started it… from an era even further into the future."
Aurora: "Where in time, or when, was he from? I want to be informed as to what happened!"
Dani: "He died. We met in the year 2010 during my lifetime. He was from the 23rd century."
Aurora: "Dani, I am sorry to hear about his passing. I am more confused than mad at you."
Dani: "Before Toru died, he asked me to finish this quest to stop dystopias from happening."
Aurora: "You have never met Miss Petal? I wonder what our chances of succeeding are then."
Dani: "My predecessor managed to convince her to provide scrapings, as you called them."
Aurora: "I wish I had known more about all these details before agreeing to get into your boat."
Dani: "Aurora, I need to ask a question before we dock. Tell me. What is your nationality?"
Aurora: "I suppose you would label me Indian. My parents were both born in Bombay."
Dani: "You don't have East Asian heritage unfortunately. I was kind of praying otherwise."
Aurora: "Why did you need to know my heritage or nationality? How could that matter at all?"
Dani: "Slavery exists in 2088. Stay hidden so the Japanese won't capture and enslave you."
Aurora: "In my life I do not like surprises at all, and they might enslave me? Blessed mother!"
