[So Rabbit has come to a sobering conclusion.]

So. We ain't re-re-real.

[This only means one thing]

Nuthin' here is real.

[And further more]

So I don't gotta act like it is real.

[Which is why he is boldly and uncaringly standing in front of a terminal. Stark. Naked.]

I can do whatever I want. S'all fa-fake anyway. Who's gonna stop me?

Somethin' I a-always do~.

[Rabbit copies the pose!]

Ain't nu-nuthin' t'be ashamed about!

Shame is for the weak.

[If France had his cat tail with him, it would've been wagging right now. Alas.]

It is so wonderful to find someone else who shares my thoughts on embracing your body as it was intended to be seen. [He gives a really French laugh, that stereotypical honhonhon.] My friend, where have you been all my life?

[And for that matter, why hasn't he gotten naked in the Tower before? This is great!]

Y-yeah it is!

Ain't nu-nuthin' wrong with bein' me th' wa-wa-way I was meant to be!

[He raps his knuckles against his chest, hissing steam]

I d-dunno, where have you been?

I've be-be-been to France once I think. Waaaay long ago.

That's right! Be yourself, and others will follow.

[France lays a hand against his cheek and smiles.]

Moi? I've been in France, of course. Before I was dragged here, that is... How long ago were you there? Tell me, didn't you just love it?

[He leans toward the screen, eager. He just loves to hear people talk about him.]

Well uh...

[Talked yourself into a hole, Rabbit]

A while ago. It uh... I-I-It was Normandy.

... C-could've been better.

Hm? Normandy?

[He blinks and lifts his head up a little bit. France has many memories surrounding that particular part of himself, but from the tone of this guy's voice, it sounds like he showed up there on a... less-than-ideal occasion.]

You sound so troubled, mon ami. Come, let's not dwell on the bad times! [Translation: He's not prepared for the inevitable mood crash that'll come with looking back on certain memories.] That wasn't the only time you've been to my home, was it?

Uh... Y-yeah actually... I wa-wa-was only there for that. I wa-was in Poland an' stuff too. I di-didn't get to leave the States fer much fun stuff.

[France purses his lips.]

Oh, well that's no good. How can you expect to live life to the fullest if you're stuck in that country?

[All right, maybe he's being a little harsh, but he has an obligation to pick on Anglophones whenever he can. Even if those Anglophones are no longer-

Well.

He shakes his head and lifts his shoulders in a grand old shrug.]

My darling, if I could take you to my home now, trust me, I would. [He holds up his pointer finger and gives Rabbit a wink.] It's no good being confined in one place, is it?

Y-yeah, it'd be ni-nice t'travel without it bein' an emergency anymore. I'd li-like t'see Europe an' stuff without all that other st-st-stuff goin' on.

Well, how about this: when we all get out of here, I will find some way to take you to my home. You can explore for as long as you like, without any pressure at all. Oui?

[All right, so after the big reveal, it's hard for him to stay confident that they'll get out of here at all, let alone hop between worlds like it's nothing. But he has to stay as positive as possible, or else he'll go crazy.]
