[ she comes over and sits down too, sitting Tokunaga in her lap. ]
She made a lot of dolls like this when I was little... but this was the one she made when I enrolled in the officer's school. It's not, like, far from home, but I wasn't going to get to see my parents that often while I was attending, so she gave this to me so I wouldn't be lonely.
[Upon hearing the question, Sora's hand freezes, the prongs in contact with the surface of the meat]
Hm? It's an item of great importance to me. I'm protecting it.
[Which is why during the first trial she flat-out refused to talk much about it. That simple question back then got Sora Jingu extremely guarded, and right now she's starting to raise up those same walls]
...you'll have to forgive me, Ms. Tatlin, but I don't intend to ever reveal it. It's immensely important.
But if it makes you feel better in some way, it's nothing that can be used for anything at all, brittle as it is. I'd sooner give my own existence up than let any further harm come to it.

Since you mention...Tokunaga, can I ask what is he to you? A companion from early childhood?
[It's glaringly obvious that stuffed toy is important to Anise. So! What's the story there?]

... Mama made him for me.

...your friend is far more valuable than anything else I have seen in a while.
[Tokunaga should receive the same benefits animals get in these murdergames. I'll feel so bad for Anise if something happens to it]

Say, Dean... Can I ask you something?

[Permission granted, while Sora pokes with a fork the meat available for eating in this place, as if doing that will allow to see its origin]

But if we're going to keep having trials and stuff, it might get you in trouble? You know... having a mystery item that could be anything.
