I hope so, too. ...I am sure that it will. If we manage to overcome this, despite how... awful everything feels right now... then there is nothing we cannot achieve, is there not?

It's a nice thing to believe. So...we just have to choose to believe it.

...that is perhaps easier said than done, but...

[even as awful as everything feels right now... she still wants to believe it.]

...but it's possible. [he doesn't entirely believe it himself, but he's not enough of an asshole to discourage her either.]

Yes.

[...she brought it up, but the more she thinks about it the more discouraged she gets. with a frown, she shakes her head as if to dispel the thoughts.

positive. stay positive.]

[...]

Chin up, Flayn. We're almost there.

[she nods]

...yes. Thank you. [she's so tired, but. she can't help but think he and the other directors must be even more tired.] For reminding me, and... for everything the three of you have done to help us get this far.

We could all use the reminder, I think. [but there's a nod back.] We've been helping each other, haven't we? We're really only as good as those of us helping out.

...I hope that despite everything, we will all be able to help each other find a way out of this.

Never stop trying to help. It's the only way it'll work. But I don't think I have to remind you that, do I?

...I think I needed to hear that, actually, so - thank you.

Of course. I'm glad to hear that.

[she manages a small smile]

...we really are lucky to have had the three of you here to guide us. I hope watching over us all has not been... too frustrating for you.

I don't think so. I mean some of you were, but that's to be expected. We're all just trying to do everything we can to get out of here so...I can't be too mad at anyone.

Oh, I know that we all had good intentions!

[...]

I must have rather annoyed you with the constant apologizing, however...

It's not like I don't get why, Flayn. And I'd rather hear an abundance of apologies than none at all.

[hey. guess what. i'm upset. JUNPEI.]

Were you expecting to hear none at all?

Ah, maybe. It wouldn't have surprised me is all.

[oh... that's kind of sad]

Well, I am glad that did not turn out to be the case.

Yeah...me too.

...

[she doesn't really know what to say now]

...should I leave you be for now? I imagine... we will all need to get some rest, and save our strength for what will come tomorrow.

If you want. But you're right. We all need some rest for whatever happens tomorrow, including you.

[she doesn't really look like she wants to, but she also doesn't really look like she knows what to say otherwise! it's been a long, hard day, fam.]

...I only hope it does not turn out too poorly.

[ha ha ha junpei's boyfriend is gonna die.]

...whatever happens, we'll be alright. I can promise that much. [and then junpei's boyfriend dies. oh well.]

Thank you... I will keep that in mind.

[...]

...and thank you for taking the time to speak with me, tonight, as well. It helped.
