Lucy: I don’t know what you THINK she’s like. But if you want to take her to the movies, you can ADOPT her.

Author commentary

Veronica: The best of them, tougher than leather.

I remember when I first made this chapter, I just wanted Yashy to walk in and recite these stupid Sonic Adventure lyrics, but I didn’t know what to do after that so I got Mike and Lucy to just decide to go to the movies! And then CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HAPPENED…

Even the more important stories can start from a goofy meme.

Oliver: I’m Mike, the Yashy defender.
