[She doesn't know this girl's name, but her voice is familiar. She feels like she's heard it in a dream, somewhere. It would be better if it were a dream.]

[She keeps sniffling and crying, but her words are understandable.]
Mami-oneechan made a deal with that Animus. She told us that if we ate her flowers, our Gems wouldn't get dirty and dark anymore. We were supposed to owe her a favor.
[That is a child's voice. A child who is in obvious emotional distress.
Ukitake can't ignore that. He knows, of course, it could be a trap to play on the heartstrings and lure someone in, but at the same time it's too sincere, too real. And even if this girl was one of his enemies during the past few days, he still feels it is only right to help comfort her now.
He speaks softly, his voice soft and kind.]
Now, now, nobody could hate you when you have such a pretty voice.
Who can help Yuma? There's no witches here to fight and get their grief seeds from. We use those to keep from becoming witches, too. Yuma doesn't know of any other way.

It's okay to hate Yuma, even if she doesn't want anyone too.
But hating Mami-oneechan and Kyoko--.

I don't hate any of you! You're all really precious to me.

[She devolves into hiccuping, incoherent.]

Calm down -- Yuma, calm down.
What deal?

But... But Yuma was a monster. We hurt people.

[And that, really, is a scary thing. But not as bad as what had already happened, so she's actually not very sad over it.]

Aren't monsters who hurt people supposed to be hated?

How old are you anyways?

[That's the player's best guess, anyway.]

You didn't have a choice. [Not like some people did.]
No one hates you. We simply want you to get well. Have you been seeking treatment?

[Perhaps they can find a way to replicate whatever quality it is that keeps them normal.]
Not all hope is lost, Yuma-san. We will find a way.
