[Her voice raises to a fevered pitch, like she's on the verge of tears. God damn it! This isn't fair! She came to make peace, and that fucking little plant is messing with her again?! Didn't it cause her enough grief already?! Once again, Perona shrinks under Mihawk's stare, and looks down at the floor to avoid his eyes. Can this just be over? This stupid holiday is really taking its toll on her right now, and Perona's so fucking done with it right now.

[She hesitates, and hunches up her shoulders, feeling sick and embarrassed all over again.] If you get caught under it, y-you're stuck...you can't cut or burn or destroy it at all, either. ...You have to wait for someone to give you a kiss. That's how you get free.
[And there you have it. Perona's shoulders sag, and she just stands there quietly. You can kill her if you want, Mihawk, it's totally fine - and she wouldn't object this time around.]
