Yes. I have a few natural resiliences, or I would not have gotten as far as I have in life up until now.

[She doesn't sound boastful, just very certain about herself and who she is.]

I wonder if whatever caused it predicted the transformations they would undergo... Omens are typically accompanied by some portent of the future. [She looks down at her baggied tendrils.] I wonder...

It's possible... I wonder how people felt about the features they got! I was happy with mine. It's hard for me to dislike spiders since they're my family's crest.

[Gestures at the little spider logo printer on his haori amongst the body part print.]

They might have been more open if they'd retained control over their feelings and actions. It isn't the first time I've been compared to a jellyfish. They do come when I call them, after all, so perhaps the regalia holds some merit.

[She's going to get a little closer to examine said spider emblem.]

What species is it?

[Her jellyfish powers.... Wow....]

The emblem? ... I never really thought about it. I think it's just a generic sort of spider. I had a pet tarantula once, though!

[For some reason, she thought he might have a more encyclopedic interest in his venomous and poisonous creatures... Maybe Cantarella has already assigned ownership of the reptile house to Rosemary in some way, having seen him with his extra limbs and spider behavior.]

The fuzzy little ones? How adorable. Would you ever want another?

[He knows about spiders!!! But the logo of his family is just a guy, he didn't pick it.]

Oh definitely! They're quite friendly and easygoing. I'm just not in a stable enough living situation to keep a pet at the moment.

That might go without saying. Isn't it true for most of us? You four most of all.

[Though the reports on time vary, it does seem like the researchers have been working on this for a while. Of course, they've had much more pressing matters to address.]

Oh, I mean even before I came here. In fact, even before the disease showed up! Things have been rather tumultuous.

Really? And yet your spirits are so high. You must have a relentless optimism.

[Well, or he's crazy, but that's likely everyone here, to some extent.]

[He is in fact insane yeah.]

Well I'm not dealing with all that right now, am I? But I suppose it's more I was trained to keep my head about me in high stress situations.

Resilience is an important skill, Rosemary, so don't sell yourself short about it. Without it, I would have faded away long ago.

Training for such so-called high-stress situations is rarely pleasant.

I'm sure. Honestly they started us so young I can barely remember. Keeping my cool is like an instinct at this point.

But that makes sense for you, miss Cantarella! You always seem level headed.
