[If it was possible for Mami to recall the memories of when Nanoha, Alicia, and Precia appeared in the Labyrinth, she might remember some of the things the former and latter called her: just a copy. A disappointing child.]

I was abandoned. I felt so completely alone, I thought I was going to die... but someone helped me. She gave me the strength to walk out of that darkness, and she's been with me ever since then.

I promised myself that I wouldn't let anyone feel the way I felt back then, if I could help it. That's why I want to get to know you, to help you, Mami.
