Connie's eyes widen as Akane describes some of Ranma's life, oscillating between abject horror and righteous fury before settling on both. Turning away, she crosses her arms and huffs. "You know, I was going to make more scathing comments about this Ranma, but... now I feel more sorry for him than anything else."

It was kind of funny, really. Steven's problems were the exact opposite of Ranma's.

Grasping Akane's hand with both of hers and staring deep into her eyes, Connie says, "You see now? This? What we're doing, what we've been doing for these past few days... I wouldn't trade any of these kinds of moments for all the power in the world. Because this is what's important."
