Jaffar & Nino

Level C:

NINO:	...Jaffar.
JAFFAR:	......
NINO:	Jaffar, can I ask you something?
JAFFAR:	What is it?
NINO:	...Well, um... Why were you... with Nergal?
JAFFAR:	......
NINO:	When I first met you, it was after you had come with Moth--I mean, with Sonia and the Black Fang. So I thought at first that you were with the Black Fang. Then, my brothers told me that you had come with Nergal. I had never met Nergal, but... As Nergal's servants, you and Sonia must have been friends, right?
JAFFAR:	...I was selected by Nergal as a child. He raised me to become his Angel of Death. ...I...did not think. ...I did not feel. I did what I was told... ...and that was all.
NINO:	......
JAFFAR:	I entered the Black Fang with the intent of infiltrating them, of using them... I had heard rumors about Sonia and her daughter being there... That child, raised by Sonia... I thought she must be something like myself... But...the first time I saw you, you were with the Reed brothers, laughing... in that dazzling light... as if you belonged there...
NINO:	......
JAFFAR:	..I became very interested in you... When you saved my life... I thought I had you... But I couldn't do it... Nino, that was the first time I ever had...feelings...
NINO:	Jaffar...

Level B:

NINO:	Jaffar!
JAFFAR:	... What is it?
NINO:	I want you to have this.
JAFFAR:	...What is it?
NINO:	It is my greatest treasure! Isn't it pretty?
JAFFAR:	...Why do you give it to me?
NINO:	I want you to have it.
JAFFAR:	...This stain on the pendant's cord... Is it blood?
NINO:	Err... Umm, yeah. ...Is that gross?
JAFFAR:	No. Is it very old? It does not...look like it could be your blood...
NINO:	It is... It's my real mother's. It got there when Sonia and Nergal killed her...
JAFFAR:	...Then it is a valuable keepsake. You should keep it...
NINO:	I can't even remember my own mother's face. Even though she died protecting me. So...I don't think I deserve to keep it.
JAFFAR:	...You were so small. How could you have remembered her?
NINO:	Still...
JAFFAR:	...I will just hold it, then... ... ...until you are ready. you're my... you are my...best friend... I will always be near you... You may trust this with me...
NINO:	Best friend? You really think of me that way? Jaffar...
JAFFAR:	...Yes.
NINO:	Thank you! Thank you, Jaffar! that makes me...so happy!!

JAFFAR:	I said that I would always be your friend...and that I would always be by your side... ...but something has changed.
NINO:	No! How could you? You promised! You said..!!

NINO:	What, am I just a bother to you? You just want to be rid of me?! Then why did you save me in the first place?! Why were you so nice to me!? How could you let me trust you... And then...betray me?!

NINO:	...No. But... It's just so hard to...
JAFFAR:	...love me?
