"Wait, you mean you haven't gotten your invitation yet!?"

"I almost had my hopes up that they were just sending them out one-by-one instead of all together... Oh, well. Mine just probably got lost in the mail and is on its way soon!"

"M-Maybe my feeling was off? Maybe it'll be next week?"

"Hmm? Ms. Blue Mary? Oh! I remember her! I saw her last at the KOF XI Tournament. Seems like she got in this one too!"

"I’ve been busy studying up on Kusanagi-san’s techniques! I’m only missing the flames part now!"

"Huh? But I don’t copy them exactly! I add my own Shingo-flair to them!"

"The tournament got delayed!? I guess it’ll just give me more time to practice then!"

"This had happened once before, too. My old passcode used to be KUSANAGIFANBOY96 until I shouted it out loud too"

"Aka, ao, ki iro, murasaki no, kobushi ni yado ta, a, mada da no ni."

"I NEED TO GET POP A FATHER’S DAY GIFT!!"

"Did Kusanagi-san tell his Pop 'Happy father's day' yet? Should I tell it for him!?"

"Vanessa? Oh, she's friends with Seth, isn't she? Man, I wonder what he's been up to? It's been forever!"

"Shingo Yabuki is here and ready!"

"How could I get a cold in the middle of the summer…? A-ACHOOO!!"

"Not having my gloves on reminds me of back when I was just a rookie!"

"My invitation must've really gotten lost in the mail, huh?"
