Mother...I mean, Cherche. What was your life like before I came here?
— Gerome, when asking a question about Cherche’s life before they met

Mother, I saw your Minerva attack someone. Should I be worried?

Morgan, tell me if you need anything. You are my child - I would know you better.

Challenge me, Morgan. We must see if the son surpasses the father!
