[ ... ah. that answer. if there was any tension in her form, it's almost gone at that. a breath escapes her.. and she offers a smile.

an answer like that-- ]

[ she rests a hand over her chest, peering back at him.]

I... I want to live for everyone. For the ones I care for, and love, being able to protect.. and give hope in return, would give my life, meaning. [ It's only been.. three weeks and she has already seen, witnessed, felt so much on her own. But it really has been all of her interactions here that have helped with her growth. In a way that Hermes surely hoped for her. ]

My.. sisters, may feel hurt, and hate but, I... [ her voice trembles, tears prickling in her eyes. to remember that pain... that suffering. it was so much. so much but-- so very, very wrong. ]

...They, showed me hope, here. Each one of them. [ she can't help but think of Bass, who has tried again and again for her even when she felt like she had lost hope entirely, for Clarte who is too much like her and still able to move forward, of Buzen surely still asking her to keep her head high. ]

..I want the same, as you. [ to protect their star, even if her sisters may wish for its end. for a fate more cruel. ]
