Is this your first time meeting a Chozo? There’s nothing too fear. We look different, but inside… We have the same heart that you do, so be at ease. I am called “Old Bird”. But you can call me Tori-Oji-chan if you’d like. Would you like to be friends?

I agree with many of the doubts that you harbor, Keaton. Your disgust may be well-placed. But perhaps the true terror of the universe lies in the fact that we cannot understand one-another’s hearts. Everyone is gasping for a resolution in their own way.
