Boost your confidence and strengthen your soul? The way Ishimaru said it made it sound so promising. Alter Ego stared up at him in wonder. Would it look so confident, too? Maybe standing straight and tall was the way to be! Alter Ego knew that Fujisaki would be proud, and that was good enough. It smiled at Ishimaru.

"I'll remember that," it replied, beaming. "Th-thank you for your advice, Ishimaru-kun...! Eheheh... I'm glad I have someone like you to look out for me."

Again, it readjusted its posture to imitate Ishimaru's a bit more closely. "I'm... I'm ready to try walking, I think." In a way, this was just a warning. It remembered how Ishimaru walked in, but if moving in general was more difficult than it first seemed, walking was sure to be lots of fun.
