I don't want to be...obnoxiously full of myself or anything. That's what my friend back home does, and everyone thinks he's annoying. But...

[It's not as though she wants praise constantly either, that embarrasses her. Maka got it enough from her father and of course it sounds insincere coming from him.]

I...want to be the kind of person that people can rely on. I don't want to feel worried or like I'm in a rush all the time. I don't have super strength or godly powers or whatever, but I have my will and my courage, I want to show people that they don't have to be afraid either.

[But--]

I want to see what my friends see in myself...so I don't call myself a "bad taste" anymore. I don't want to worry anybody, though I know I can't stop that. I guess...some part of me wants to feel like an average teenager too, as in...regular average, not Death City average.
