Haruko was used to being the only real bad ass in town. Sure, her robot could kick ass if he really needed too, but her life was made up of other people screaming while she "saved" the day. Saya was certainly a lot more level headed than any of the bad asses from her door and reminded her of the imaginary space cops she had ran around with before her story even started. "See, this is why I should have brought something to light them on fire with." That would have been a disaster that even Haruko's demented mind could forsee, but at least it would have been fun.
