Sarah Morgan:

"It's lovely here, isn't it?"

"Sigh. I've been from one end of the Settled Systems to the other, but this place... this exact spot... there's nowhere else like it in the galaxy."

...	Player	Response
	It's absolutely beautiful.	I knew you'd appreciate it.
	I couldn't agree more.	From one explorer to another, I'll take that as a compliment.
	It's the perfect place to share with someone you care about.	I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're absolutely right.
🗣︎	What is it about this spot that makes it so special?	I don't know. I'm not sure I can explain it. Maybe it's the strange way that the art, technology and nature fuse together... or maybe it's because it feels like home. Whatever it is, I definitely feel more comfortable here than anywhere else I've ever been.

"I usually come up here to mull over some of the heated debates we have at Constellation."

"You be surprised how many decisions I've made on this very spot."

...	Player	Response	Reaction
	This seem like an ideal place to focus.	That's actually why I asked you to meet me up here.	I was hoping we could talk about something very important.
	I'm sure everything worked out for the best.	Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. I've certainly learned that you can't make everyone happy.	Anyway, I didn't ask you up here to admire the scenery, I asked you up here because I wanted to talk about something very important.
	I feel like you're stalling for time here.	Is it that obvious?	The truth is, I've asked you up here because I wanted to talk about something very important.

...	Player	Response
	I hope nothing's seriously wrong.	No, not at all. Just let me get all of this out, I have a lot to say.
	You can tell me whatever's on your mind.	Good, because I have a lot to say.
	I'm here for you, Sarah.	I know you are. Just, give me a moment. I have a lot I need to say.
🗣︎	Trying to pull one over on me, eh?	*Laughs* No, nothing like that at all. I just have a lot on my mind, and I am terrible at getting right to the point.

"It's about my return to Cassiopeia. What we learned about Sona has been constantly replaying in my mind."

"Maybe it sounds crazy, but that young girl's isolation feels like a reflection of my own life."

...	Player	Response
	But you're not alone, you have me.	Maybe, but for how long?
	Don't get me wrong, compared to Sona, I've had it easy.	Am I?
🗣︎	You equate Sona's situation to your own?	In all honesty, I don't. She simply reminds me of my own isolation. Maybe not in the literal sense of the word, but I certainly relate to some of her loneliness.

"I've spent my life surrounded by all sorts of people: Constellation, the Navigator Corps, hell, even the UC Military."

"Despite that, no matter how hard I've tried to make them a part of my life, they tend to drift away and disappear."

...	Player	Response	Reaction
	None of that is your fault.	Are you sure?	For all we know, it's in my nature to keep people at arm's length... or worse, push them away.
	It's just bad luck, that's all.	Bad luck...	I seem to run into a good bit of that these days.
	Dealing with the unpredictability of people can be a challenge.	I suppose...	Well, if that's true, this "challenge" is wearing me down.

...	Player	Response	Reaction
	Forget the past - focus on what you have right now.	[QB705] Right now? Are you talking about Constellation?	Or... what exactly are you saying?
	You deserve to be with someone who understands your feelings.	[QB710] Finding someone like that would be wonderful.	Wait a second. What exactly are you saying?
	All I see is someone who's lost and needs help finding their way.	[QB715] Yeah, sure. And who wants to take on that responsibility? You?	Wait a moment, that's exactly what you're saying. Isn't it?

...	Player	Response
	[Friendship] No matter what happens, we'll always be close friends.	You have no idea how relieved I am to hear you say that.
	[Romance] I'm saying I love you, Sarah. Now and forever.	Sigh. Sorry... I... I just need a moment to gather my thoughts.

[IsRomantic >= 1?] & [FlirtCount >= 1?]

"From things you've said in the past, it's obvious you want to have a serious relationship... you want to become close."

--

[IsRomantic >= 1?] & [FlirtCount < 1?]

"I know you want to have a serious relationship... you want to become close."

--

[IsRomantic >= 1?]

"So... if you're willing to take that leap of faith with someone like me, then I'm ready to do the same."

...	Player	Response
	I've been more than willing for a long time.	You're something truly special, you know that? You've helped me conquer my self-doubt, my confidence... hell, everything.
Best Friends	[Friendship] This is going too fast. I think we should remain good friends... for now.	If that's how you see our relationship, then that's the path we should follow.
🗣︎	Are you sure a romantic relationship is what you want?	I can't imagine being in love with anyone else. So, if you're willing to make the leap, I'm ready to do the same.

[IsRomantic >= 1?]

"For the first time in my life, I feel... complete. And with you by my side, I'm convinced that feeling will last forever."

"You're the best thing that's happened to me in my life. I love you. Always."

[Best Friends]

[IsRomantic < 1?]

"To be honest, I was afraid this conversation was going to wind up with you storming away. I'm glad I was wrong."

--

[IsRomantic < 1?]

"Until now, I never realized that having someone like you by my side could make me feel at peace... and I never want that feeling to end."
