"I'm flattered."
In the face of Celestina's taunts, Rhode, on the other hand, seemed really honest. As a matter of fact, the moment he saw the little Celestina, he already knew how to get out from deep within Celestina's mind. He wasn't trying to unite the two of them to defeat Celestina's 'self-esteem', nor was he trying to turn the little one into the ruler of the mental world. Instead, his mission was simple. He only needed to make Celestina's 'self-esteem' discover her hidden third personality and it would count as a victory for him.
