It's nothing to be sorry about, I think. I know being the last one is important. There are certain things only I can do to help our planet, so...it's just a responsibility I'll take. I can only hope I can do it right.
Still, it's a big responsibility to put on one person's shoulders. A heavy burden, even if you're willing to accept it.
[ to be the last... he can't even imagine. ]
But, as short a time as I've known you, Aerith-dono, I know you consider things such a this very deeply before acting. So I have no doubt that you'll handle your responsibilities well. [ ... ] But it does sound a little lonely.
[well. she doesn't respond right away because he's not wrong. it's kind of a big thing, and it's something she's thought about on and off. about how she isn't sure she knows how to pray right, or if the planet really will listen, or what she can do.
but those are things to contend with later.]
...thank you, Iwatooshi. [first of all. because she does want to handle these responsibilities as best as possible.] But I guess maybe you're right. It was...harder, really, when it was just me experiencing certain things and knowing what the planet was saying or feeling. I've spent my whole life being watched, or being hated for being what I am. Held against my will by people who thought I would be the answer they were looking for. But it's...better now. Having my friends who don't totally get it but still support me is enough. More than I've had before.
I wonder if we can ever fully understand one another. [ pensive, but not in a bad way. ] It’s difficult enough to understand ourselves, at times. But that is why we seek each other out, isn’t it?
[ he offers her a small smile. ]
The best that we can do is try. Perhaps having your friends isn’t the same as having someone of your own kind to guide you, but I’m glad that you aren’t completely alone.
Think it's so bad if the answer's no? [it's clear that she doesn't.] I think as long as there's an attempt and we're listening to each other that counts. You're right.
They're the reason I do anything these days. As long as I have them, and even all of you, then...it's better. [but on that note...] All the more reason we should also be ready to support our friends who are coming tomorrow, right? Let's try to take it easy tonight and prepare ourselves as best as we can.
[me realizing this is from w3 and crying. we can set this free.]
