[ That's a difficult question for John to answer because... in his heart he doesn't think of the people in Etraya like that anymore. When he met Dazai at the party it was like that, he thought only of connections, of getting a leg up, an advantage. He doesn't anymore; he's going to give Gorgug a book, Shadowheart flowers. ]
