Normally I can fly and I've got super-strength, but... apparently I haven't gotten that back yet! So it's mainly just that my physical abilities are enhanced. I'm stronger - though not as strong as I would be with that power - and faster, and more sturdy.
I can also normally conjure up illusions with my flute? ...but that's not working, either. If I had vouchers, I'd buy it back.
You can do a whole lot with your grappling hook. And, hey. Can you use that power on someone else? You never know, it might come in handy depending on what we end up facing.
I think so? I was gonna offer using it on someone else a few times but, um, I couldn't really find a good time to do it. Plus, everyone else seems to hate it so much, I don't know if they'd want it anyway.
I know my grappling hook's amazing, and I'm amazing with it too! But, um, it's no flying, or throwing fireballs around or anything. I just...wanna be helpful, for whatever comes next.
If the story's throwing a fit because it's sad that it's going to end in a way we want instead of the way it wants, just make it not sad anymore so it'll shut up!
[she shrugs]
Just do your best, and it'll be fine, Mabel. There are plenty of people who don't know how to use a grappling hook at all. Sometimes it's about having the right tool for the job, with the right person using it.
I'm not sure, but there's only one way to find out, right?
[ruffles her hair again]
Yeah. That's why teamwork's so important, right? Everyone has things that they can and can't do, and we balance each other out with the things that we can do that no one else can.
Yeah it is!! Did you see what happened back there? Everyone had all their little teams messaging each other back and forth and no one bothered to tell me what was going on or anything!
...I heard in the daycare, there's stuff they couldn't talk about to most people. Like, the thing to save Denji wouldn't have worked if too many people knew about it, I think? And then he'd have been... you know...
Talking about the other stuff too much would've resulted in another situation like Adora's, too. I really don't think it was that they were trying to leave you out on purpose, just that they were doing what they could with what they had.
But they could tell enough! They--they told Taichi everything! So why not me?! And way more than just the stupid "honor society" was texting about it!!
I didn't want another Adora, but--but--Denji was the closest person I had left! And they all just left me to think I was gonna lose everything, and be left in this stupid school all alone!
[ by the end of this, she's. completely devolved into blubbering tears. ]

All I've got is my grappling hook and this anti-sad power nobody wants me using anymore.
I wish I could've bought something else too, but I hardly have any vouchers left...

she honestly doesn't know what to say to that, so she just hugs her tightly and tries to smooth down her hair to soothe her.]
...that must have been really scary, Mabel. I'm sorry, that really sucks.

I--I--I only wanna be with you guys! The daycare people! And Denji...
