Messenger birds, action, what have you.

No. Don't be. Your kindness is a ray of a light in dark times. [He watches her a moment and continues.] This world let us both have opportunities to learn and to grow in ways we didn't back home.

I'm honored you would fight for us. But, unfair as it is. We still have what happens here and now. This is the time we can affect and shape to bring a more harmonious future.

[omaru]

...Yeah, you're right. Even though everything that happened back home happened, this world is a different one.

[ Here, she cracks a tiny smile, starting to feel a little better now. ]

We can still make precious memories here.

[eyeswideopen]

[He smiles back at her his face softening further.] We can. People come and go, this is true. But their voices and our memories will always be here.

[His hand lays across his heart and his smile grows wider.] Don't they feel like threads linking us all together? Our hopes and dreams, just make those connections endure long after someone vanishes from our sight.

[omaru]

You're right. It does feel that way.

[ She can still feel an attachment to some of those that left this world. ]

And focusing on those memories is what is most important.

[eyeswideopen]

And making memories binds us to deeper ties. [The air is slightly warm and alive with the scent of growing things. Grass, herbs, and small flowers spread out from him as he holds his hand out.]

I hope I have helped your heart feel a little lighter.

[omaru]

I still don't think it's fair.

[ She says rather simply, resolute on that opinion. ]

...But I understand you and the others' viewpoints, so I won't argue. It's not like it'll change things, anyway...and I'd rather spend that time making memories with all of you instead. So...yeah, you helped me. Thank you, Komaeda-san.

[ There's a pause after she says that, and she looks downcast. ]

It seems like you're always helping me like this.
