[She shakes her head which - is kind of ridiculous from her position, really, so she ends up straightening.]
Even if we see something new as a result of the experience... that wasn't really 'me' and that wasn't really 'Luffy.' There was trust there which we haven't developed, there was a whole history of fights and resolutions and firsts - it was just one possibility of how things could have been with two other people who were a lot like who we really are... but who weren't. They were shadows and fakes, and real enough in their own way... but she wasn't me. I just have her memories. She's part of me now. But it wasn't real, not in the same way that my friendship with Luffy is real.
