Panty: “Alright, darlings, notebooks out. Rika gave you the feels. Yoko gave you the rules. Now it’s our shift.
We’re not here to talk about trauma or doctrine. We’re here to teach you how to turn a news cycle into a weapon.”

Stocking: “This is Inside the Forge #7. Not vibes. Not therapy. This is an autopsy. This is where the machine gets opened up on the table.”

Panty: “And before we go any further—yes, our names are Panty and Stocking.
Giggle, snicker, whatever helps. Done? Good.”

Stocking: “We’re weapons, not Sunday school teachers. Moving on.”

Honey, this isn’t a ‘miracle.’ It’s craft.”

Stocking: “This is a lesson, not a party. Our rebellion isn’t built on ‘hope.’ It’s built on a superior research engine. The Living Storybook gives our weapons a soul. This—”

Panty: “This is the dissection. This is how we built the weapon.”
