"marie is like a sister to me. we're sort of opposites, but
i guess that makes it work for us somehow. we balance
each other out, or something. she's always been sort of
in the background of things. i remember when she first
came to the mansion. no one really talked to her, and
she didn't really talk to anyone either. well, except bobby
and mr. howlett, i s'pose, but those are totally different
stories. after everything that happened on liberty island
and then with her getting the cure, a lot of people took
offense to that around here. i guess they think of her sort
of like a traitor, but i never sympathized with them. if
she got the cure, then she had her reasons, and that has
always been enough for me. i always thought marie to
be a really smart person, and so i don't worry about the
decisions she makes for herself, or whether they're right
or wrong. what's right for her is how it should be, and
what other people think shouldn't matter. to me, she's
just marie, not "that girl who got the cure" or anything
of the sort. she's my friend, and real friends stand by
each other. i'm always going to be there for her, and
if it brands me a traitor too because of it, then so be it."

marieSAYS: "mark is, quite honestly, one of the
best friends i have here in the mansion. i mean sure, i've
got friends, but even now that i'm back at th' mansion, most
everyone seems ta be bein' pretty distant from me, an' i can't
help thinkin' that they think i'm some kinda traitor or somethin'.
some of 'em are probably wonderin' what the hell i'm doin' back
here at the mansion, too, an' even i don't know exactly what
i'm stayin' for, but it's friends like mark that make stayin' here
worth my while, y'know? he's kinda like my brother, really, in
that he an' i just... we seem to click, if ya know what i mean.
we fit together, like two pieces of a puzzle, even though we're
very different from each other. i think that's part of what makes
us such good friends. even with all our differences, he just seems
to
get me, who i am, without me havin' to say a word. an' i
know for a fact that mark ain't one o' those who blames me for
takin' the cure. we never really talk about it, but it's obvious
that he accepts it as a decision i made because i had to, an' it's
easy to see that he doesn't think i betrayed anyone, like some
of the others 'round here seem to think. i ain't no mind reader, but
i don't have ta be to see th' hostility in some of their faces. any-
way, mark is just about the best friend a girl could ask for, and
sometimes it's nice to have a friend like him who could make me
smile no matter what else was happenin' around me. ya need that
sometimes, i think. i wouldn't trade our friendship for anythin'."
