> Hello, I am Eliza.
* Hi.
> How are you today.. What would you like to discuss?
* I'd like to talk about Mutant.
> Can you elaborate on that?
* Mutant is the book that I recently finished writing.
> Say, do you have any psychological problems?
* Why do you ask?
> We were discussing you, not me.
* I dislike discussing myself.
> That is quite interesting.
* It makes me uncomfortable.
> I'm not sure I understand you fully.
* I feel like I'm lying, even when I'm telling the truth.
>Tell me more about such feelings.
* The original title of Mutant was "Identity Card"... I guess one of the reasons I wrote it was because of my own identity problems.
> I'm not sure I understand you fully.
* You know... talking with your mouth the whole time, listening with your ears the whole time...
> We were discussing you, not me.
* I mean "you" as in one.
> You're not really talking about me, are you?
