I'm somebody who tries to focus on the present and the future. It's easy, it's probably in everyone's nature, to be preoccupied by the past. I try not to be. What's gone is gone.
9S and Buzen are gone. And here in the present, I think we both feel grief over that. But nothing we do will change the fact of what happened, so I don't want to see us get lost in regrets and punishments. The things that can be changed are the things that are still ahead of us, the people who are still alive.
Grieving is important. It's the way we prepare ourselves to get free of what's tangled up inside, keeping us from moving on.
[but at the latter part, they turn and look towards her, very seriously.]
Good. It's important to have a goal. Whether we mean it to or not, the type of intentions we have are going to color everything we do, so it's important to make them good ones. [...] You remind me of someone, I think. If you make that the goal that guides you, you're going to do some great things.
No, all of you are pretty respectful towards me, even though I'm pushy and make you tell me about your feelings when you don't want to. I don't disagree that's pretty insufferable.

You're very much someone who thinks of the future more than the present, aren't you?
[Not an accusation, just an observation.]

I agree with that. As much as...one wants to grieve, one needs to move forward and think about what's ahead, too.
[She looks down at the table.]
I want to save these people at all costs. I will work towards that.

[She huffs at that.]
That's some real faith in me. ["To do great things"...she doesn't see herself as great as that, but...] I appreciate it, all the same.
no subject
I haven't been wrong so far. And I appreciate you coming to me to talk these things out.
no subject
[She tilts her head at that.]
A certain someone said I need to reach out to people. I still don't like it that much, but...you've always been easy to talk to.

but yes they are teasing.]

You know, if you weren't so levelheaded, you'd be incredibly insufferable.
no subject
I've heard that before, and put less nicely, too.
no subject
Really? And who told you that? One of us?

No, all of you are pretty respectful towards me, even though I'm pushy and make you tell me about your feelings when you don't want to. I don't disagree that's pretty insufferable.

Well, accept it. Though...you can be insufferable and helpful at the same time. Good for you.
