[There's a brief moment as Eustace reflects back on that fateful day before he slowly speaks more on it. He can at least tell her this story.]

...There was a time when dogs were afraid of me, and it took me a while before I could open myself up so they weren't so intimidated.

[There's a tone of regret, as it truly had been a sad time for himself.]

Although I was able to change and bond with other dogs, I was still hesitant to be near them. So I was surprised when Valo approached and stayed by me at the time.
