[When Alice's voice comes, it is very... quiet. Distant. She doesn't actually sound like she's speaking to anyone in particular, at least at first.]

They're not safe here...

This world is going to make them suffer more and more...

...I need to protect them...

But how do I do that, when I can't stop those things that would hurt them...

[It sounds like just idle musing at this point, as if she's trying to contemplate a real answer to this.]

One way or another, I cannot allow that... No matter what anyone says, I know it will come again...

They won't suffer again. I... there are ways I can make sure of that, I am certain... I know I can stop it, some way...

Alice?

[Kid you're scaring him.]

[Okay no, you're not. But you are making him uneasy.]

Smoker-san.

I shouldn't have to worry about you defending this ship, right? Safeguarding them?

[justicereigns]

Of course kiddo.

I'll never let any harm come to them so long as I have breath.

Good, that's... good...

..I just hope I can really trust you on that...

[A frown.]

Why wouldn't you?
