I actually put off bonding with anyone for as long as I could, [ nami admits with a slight laugh. ]

But when even a familiar couldn't really help... I asked the person I trusted the most. [ that had been her basis for it back then; to pick the one she knew she could trust with her life. ]

Since then, I've bonded with a friend from home, so that he would have an easier time with the changes... and another friend I made here, because the people she'd been bonded with had gone back to the mirrors.

[ a pause. ] I think, with all of these... trust is the key. I know I can trust all of them with my life, and that they can trust me with theirs. If there's not that trust... I don't think a bond like that would work.
