Allen M. Sumner: "You know you can talk to me about anything, right? We're a team, after all." Laffey: "I know, I know. Thanks, Allen. It's just...sometimes everything feels overwhelming, you know? All this fighting and uncertainty...sometimes I wonder if it'll ever end." Allen M. Sumner: *puts a hand on Laffey's shoulder* "I get it, Laffey. But remember, we're all in this together. And as long as we stick together and support each other, we can get through anything." Laffey: *smiles softly* "Thanks, Allen. I appreciate that. You're a good friend." Allen M. Sumner: "And you're a great teammate, Laffey. Now come on, let's go kick some Siren butt and show them what we're made of!" Laffey: *nods* "Let's do it, Allen. For Azur Lane!"
