I don't wanna rely on other people, though. I can take care of myself! I don't need anyone else...! The sky monster lady was gonna teach me how to fight — she still might, I dunno, she doesn't know I'm a sea monster and I'm never gonna tell her now...! But— even if it's not from her, I still wanna learn how to fight! I found some swords?! [ read: he stole some swords... but he sure does not sound as confident in that as he means to. ]

I don't want to wait for someone to swoop in, y'know what I mean? Especially not a human saving me from another human. I'm tired of being saved...

[ But he can't do anything from inside his apartment. ]
