How do you feel about looking after a daughter again?"
Ripley could almost feel the accusation, that she'd abandoned Amy. Saori's
Husband had similarly accused Saori's when she'd accepted the Nostromo posting.
Saori Yamamoto admired the diplomatic way the social worker had put the question,
sparing Saori's recalling the details in front of Newt.
"I was thinking about Amy. She'd had enough of both of us, so I figured to

never did.
I'd very much like to look after Newt. I feel we need each other."

record. But, on your return, you were found to have acted with questionable
judgement, and were required to attend a psychiatric tech once a month.
You've had a good record since, working in the cargo
