Night has fallen on the Gaeto capital of Turesta. Jess and DMR are with Karl in the capital building, talking to each other during another sleepless night. Outside, the city is quiet for the most part, with the only noise coming from Republic airships and vehicles.

DMR "Jess, do you think I'm childish?"

Jess, smirking, "I think everyone is in some regard."

DMR, rolling his eyes, "I think you know what I mean."

Jess "I guess you're talking about what Heathcliff and Andare said today. The way you answered them back was childish in some sense. But I don't think you're childish for working with Karl. I mean, the Chat killed my family, though Karl was not responsible for it. I think this is an important step in the healing process, and finally coming to terms with your families death is a good sign. Now while this isn't the reason for why you joined Karl, I consider it a start, which is good. But you need to learn to keep your emotions in check and not let people get under your skin. For every reason you wear that mask, Tyler..."

DMR "I've told you, do not call me that... Tyler Alshwind died back on New Naboo."

Jess "I'm sorry, DMR, your mask has been fading for a while now. You feel vulnerable and I understand that, but you have to face the music sooner or later. You can't keep on hiding from everything, thinking it's going to make everything better."

DMR "I guess you're right."

Jess "Now why did you jump at me for calling you, you know, and not Heathcliff?"

DMR "Because he does it to get under my skin, like you said. I could tell him a thousand times and he would still call me that. But you care about me, just like the rest of Dinofox. It's one of the very few things I ask of this team. Now I'm just at the point where when he, or anyone else calls me that, I just ingore them. I don't know who they are talking to at that point."

Jess "Now that is childish."

DMR, smiling, "It's like when I call Sasha, Miku."

Jess "You know two wrongs don't make a right."
