[ Entertaining... The exchange really is reminiscent of Ranger taunting them all, back in the Death Game — it's hard to silence the thought, and that it absurdly feels like betrayal before long to watch Midori step in to pull the doll aside. Was the truce that flimsy, then? Or was something done to Ranger's programming since Midori's arrival?
Something still doesn't fit, but it's difficult to put one's finger on it in the midst of this tumultuous meeting, and Alice gets no further than opening his mouth (which contains his own immaculate teeth that can easily withstand constant gritting, for the record, because he brushes them thoroughly and flosses twice daily; Midori is just jealous), only to close it again. His nails press into his palms. ]
