[Funny thing about Elektra: when she's not being unnecessarily paranoid, she's reckless. After throwing caution to the wind and sampling this, she's happy for the first time in years. There's a soft smile on her lips as she addresses the camera. She's holding what people might recognize as the note accompanying the chocolate sent out.]

"Where love might bring about sorrow, it also welcomes joy." [She flips the card over in her hand and sets it down offscreen.] It's a nice sentiment. True too.

[A beat.] What do people around here do to make themselves happy anyways? [They can't all be emotionless robots like her.]
