I just... I just don't want anybody else to know that I'm not a real human. So instead of "Milk from Palmier Village", I invented "Mimino Kurumi". I told the truth to all of you on the Way because none of you would mind. I mean, Captain Kurt was blue -- I don't even remember if you knew him. He was in charge before Ryuuzaki was. But everywhere else, I decided I was just going to be Kurumi. Things are easier that way.
Oh, I see. So Milk is the bunny thing, Kurumi's when you look human, and Milky Rose is when you're in that costume, right?

Milk...you sure about this?
Yeah, it's easier sometimes to hide things about yourself, because people can be really stupid about a lot of things. But hiding what you are...is almost like saying you're ashamed of it, and there isn't a damn wrong with who you are.
If you really wanna do this, I'll go with it, but...I'm just saying, that had better not be the reason.
I know. I know it's just running away from my problems. I mean, back with you guys it was different. I didn't have anything to hide, so it felt like I wasn't really hiding, like there were just different sides of "me" and that was fine most of the time. But out there, I'm...
...I can't believe I'm saying I'm scared.
[Milk|medium] also, "damn THING wrong" up there, derp typo
That my life will go back to the way it was before I picked up the "Blue Rose", back when I couldn't transform into a human. I hate it. I hate the way this stupid world is sometimes. Don't you?
All right. I'll call you by whatever name you want. But I want you to remember something. No matter what you look like, you're you. And anyone who knows you isn't going to treat you any different when you're not human. At least, I won't.
Look, people are always going to be stupid. Human or rabbit-thing, you're going to have to deal with stupid people. The only difference is the kind of stupid, and how much of it you get.
...I'm not going to tell you not to do it, and I'll try to remember, but -- all the Milks are part of the same person, who's always gonna be Milk to me. So if I mess up once in a while, it's not because I'm trying to mess up what you've got going. It's just how I think of you. Ok?
