Utena had been a little afraid of that "yes". She had wanted someone to assure her that she was right to be wary of the drugs, and talk her into not taking them.
Hearing that Soma had been thinking the same thing as her pretty much just sealed the deal, though, Utena thought with a feeling that rose and sunk inside her simultaneously. She wasn't crazy to be thinking about things like this. Even the older, seemingly smarter girl had been thinking along the same lines. She was wary about the idea of taking anything Landel or Aguilar set out for them — really wary, especially after what Landel had done to her mind and body already in this place. But then: princes were the self-sacrificing type, weren't they?
"Whatever happens shouldn't last too long, at least, right?" she reasoned after some hesitation, closing the syringe box. She could only figure that the military wouldn't have offered rewards if the patients wouldn't be around to use them. "If Aguilar meant any of that crazy crap about treating us like men and women and whatnot... Yeah. I guess it might be worth a shot."
