[He fidgeted a little, second guessing the idea for a moment.

But Aerith was nice, and the way she'd explained things made him feel a little more secure. Then... Then I wanna try taking my mask off, and if you don't like it, you gotta tell me, okay?

[Mono nodded,] It's like if you don't act brave, maybe no one else will. Maybe it'll be too hard if everyone's scared... I think you gotta be really strong to do that, Aerith.
