Yer just sayin' that 'cause ya haven't seen 'em before. Mentor's stages are already perfect — he's a genius, yanno? He was called the Sovereign of Yumenosaki, an' all. We don't need any help from outsiders or nothin' anyway, since this is Valkyrie business.

( He's going to neglect to mention that the title has since been usurped, but you know, inconsequential details. He's bristling slightly on the defensive after Joker's adequately shoved his foot in his mouth with that remark anyway. It's kind of hard to get on Mika's good side while implying that Shu's capable of organizing lives that are anything but perfect, so it's easy to tell from the way his expression becomes troubled that he's having some second thoughts about this. )

Ya sound awful intent on gettin' me to see this Ringleader person, but ya haven't said a thing about gettin' outta here. Nnha, are ya really tryin' to help? When ya keep talkin' like that it kinda reminds me a' the scary stories they tell 'bout carnivals an' people disappearin' at 'em.

( Or maybe Mika just consumes too much scary media, but you know, it's fine. This could be just the way to incur a debt anyway, if Joker's so inclined. )
