[Despite being probably one of the few people in this place with actual muscle on their bones, Douman has yet to really thoroughly check out the gym besides just peeking in here and there. Now, he's standing at one of the weight racks, thoughtfully lifting one.]
[Noticing someone entering, he turns his head.]
Oh! Hello. I apologize, I...I don't really know what to do with these...
[Noticing someone entering, he turns his head.]

Then why are you here?
[Casual and brutal! But she pauses for a moment before picking one up.]
Oh, are you asking me for help?

Well, the point isn't really to entertain yourself, is it? It's to get stronger. Maybe you just need to get into the right mindset.
Mm, it's more like...
[She taps her chin, deciding how to say this.]
Fighting can help with your technique, but it's not as useful for building raw power! You know?

Hm... Let's see! It would have been much more before I came here, and I haven't tried all of these out yet.
[I did some very scientific research on this. She picks up a 75 pound dumbbell and brings it up and down a few times, tilting her head.]
Mm, that's way too easy...

[She sighs.]
The best of it is gone... [Nerfing.] But I've always been naturally strong! I could have done much more before.

[She nods.]
Well, some training! I had to work hard to get where I am, and that included becoming strong. But I was gifted much more power than that in exchange for that hard work... Not that I can use it here. All because of their idea of fairness! How cruel.

Hm? Oh, I was climbing the tower!
[And then, because nobody so far has understood what she means by that:]
It's a place that will grant your wishes if you're strong enough to pass the tests it gives you.

Grail War... Oh, are you from the same place as Medb?
[She shrugs, though.]
I'm not concerned with things being easy. But, it usually takes around a hundred years to climb through every floor... And sometimes things change, and you need to accomplish your goals a little bit more quickly.

I have! She's an interesting girl, isn't she?
[She taps her chin.]
Well, my impression is that people where I'm from live much longer than most people here! So 100 years isn't too long for us. Either way, I had just started to climb before I came here... I was on my way to the second floor.

[Hey, what is that...strange metallic smell? Huh. What an ominous smell, considering that a murder has just taken place. Except...]
[Well, its Douman, who looks like they've been completely drenched in blood, trudging along in the corridors. Hm.]
Mmm. This headache...

[...Hm.
She doesn't look as alarmed by this as she probably should, but she does look curious, eyes widening a bit.]
Oh? Did you kill him, then?

...Before you fell asleep? How strange! Was it there when you got locked in?
But I've been in the kitchen, and I didn't see any blood there...
[She frowns.]
How bizarre.
