| "m_ya_mid_stoic_04.wav": "I don't act on impulse. Impulse makes people careless. I move when it makes sense to move. And right now it doesn't. So we wait. Sit. Conserve your energy.", |

| "m_ya_mid_timid_03.wav": "I don't mind being overlooked. It's easier than being noticed most days. I'll try. I can't promise it will be any good, but I'll try, if you'll let me.", |
