Ace sighed and smiled  as her expression softened. "...so you CAN control yourself...... That's good... The power inside you... I'm afraid of it... Earlier in the kitchen with Luciel... I saw your powers seeping out.... David... I want to trust you... I want to trust everyone... And I want to protect them..."
She paused, then replied, "David... To be a leader doesn't mean that you are fearless... Actually... A leader must almost always be afraid. not for himself but for his people. A leader needs to be strong to protect the ones that are close to him. And except the help, kindness, and the wisdom  of others.... David, I don't want to see you get hurt or lose control... But I won't just sit and watch you kill others if you were to lose control... I... I want you to help me and I want to help you...so please... Don't forget who you are and who your friends are..." Ace slouch over and pressed her forehead on David's shoulder. The stare down she just had really got to her and she was worn out by it as a result.
