[Why do people respond before he's finished talking? It tends to happen a lot. Nagito stares down into the bowl of water and holds his hand above the surface. Faint ripples appear as if a stone were dropped in the middle.]
I'm not sad about it. It has given me an interesting perspective! Knowing how fleeting life is...the colors of the world are brighter, don't you think? Even annoyingly windy days are something special. It doesn't matter when it rains, because you know one day soon you'll be part of that voice of the world.
But you and I, won't be joining the dust so soon.
[A ball of water the size of a marble rises from the water's surface. He lifts his hands, cupping them beneath it.]
As long as there is a chance, people can score a victory even at the edge of the abyss. Despite the darkness. There is a light that shines on! Sometimes because of that despair, the hope will burn hotter. I used to think it took despair to make that happen. Mm, that hope was an absolute!
I still believe in it. But I think hope is less tangible, and exists even when all lights fade. As long as we're alive, there is still that fleeting spark! I have full confidence in that! Lloyd saved you once. And...I am working on my own cure. So those who believe in me won't have to see me die in such a horrible way. As long as we don't give up, you and I won't fall to our conditions.
[Colette pauses, looking thoughtful. After a minute or so, she then smiles.]
I think I know what you mean.
When your life is cut short, you don’t quite understand what it means at first. But the friends you make and all the things that happen to you, no matter how mundane, soon have a completely different meaning. They all make you realize how wonderful and precious life is! Every day counts. I’m glad I’ve been born into Sylvarant. Meeting Lloyd and all my friends. They made me live my life to the fullest possible.
Oh, and I’m glad that I came here and met you too. And Roxas, Athena, Rose Quartz and all the others. Until I return to Sylvarant, I’m going to help protect all of you here too.
[And it’s possible that when she gets back, she won’t die. In her future, according to Lloyd, both of them were trying to find another way to save Sylvarant without her sacrificing herself. It was still an idea she was trying to get used to. A life after Sylvarant and doing things she never thought of doing. What if something went wrong? What if she couldn’t find a way? Would people suffer? And would they hate her?
However, there was the fact that Lloyd tried to save her in the future. He cared about her so much and he was willing to do anything to stop her from dying. And that made her happy.
Colette suddenly clasps her hands together, her eyes shining.]
Hey, Nagito. I have an idea. When we are both cured, let’s have a big party and invite all our friends, okay? With a gigantic strawberry cake! It would be a fantastic way to celebrate, don’t you think?

Chase the light with me, Colette.
