Jillian listened eagerly, glancing over at Kuroda every now and again whenever he was brought up. "That is kinda weird how I never had the chance to meet Kuroda, but yeah, I remember you talking about him a lot back when we were in mechanics class together..." She laughed, bringing back fond memories of the two of them working together on various project. Jillian might have been a gearhead that loved figuring out how things worked, but she was nowhere near as creative as Shelby when it came to engineering. When it came to Shelby's compliment about how Jillian landed the Neo America spot, she simply shifted her gaze away, a hint of embarrassment showing in her eyes at the praise. "Yeah... I had to fight pretty hard to prove my worth, but I made it in the end. I'm still getting kinda used to the Inferno though, so I didn't fight quite as well as I should be able to when it comes to the finals."
