So many people have been returning of late, it is quite nice to see. But not everyone... While I may say that there are those I will, miss such familiar faces as these are heartening! Though mine may be heavy: Welcome back, everyone, and to those who are new, as well. I hope you are doing well : ).

I don't know how much longer I may stay here.

You are never a burden. You are my sister, and we rely on each other naturally.

...as far as your question goes, it's Shirou's lunches that I remember most fondly.

[heavenly_home]

Oh, Issei-kun... However did I gain such a sweet one as you? I hope my words have not caused you concern. I enjoy our time together. But I wonder what would happen if I were to stay long enough to call this temple home.

Shirou is your very special friend, isn't he?

[stripping]

Then I would accept you here. You always have a place here as long as you wish.

Best friend, first love, I won't try to hide those things. I wish that he had stayed.

[heavenly_home]

...thank you. Oh, so much, thank you. I am grateful for this.

I'm sorry he did not. It might have been better, if he had. You would have been happier.

[stripping]

Of course, Oneesama.

I - but I wouldn't have wanted him to be hurt again, I never wanted to see him hurt again when I couldn't protect him.

[heavenly_home]

I'm sorry. You've been through so much. It is hard to see those you love in pain. When you can do nothing, it is worse.

[stripping]

You understand.

[heavenly_home]

I do. I never would have wanted such for you, or for anyone, but when you have been so long in this place it seems unavoidable.

[stripping]

I will stay here as long as I can, for you and everyone else. Can we speak of lighter things with this still running in our minds?

[heavenly_home]

Not alone, dear. Never alone.

Please. What would you like for dinner? Kefka-san has introduced a number of new dishes, I believe there are still leftovers, if you would like to try them.

[stripping]

Whatever you think would be best. I have a monk's diet - I can live off of anything.

[heavenly_home]

:| You'll have a wonderful dinner. We'll try new dishes together.

[stripping]

...did you just use an emote at me?

[heavenly_home]

...? Did I, dear?

[stripping]

You did. You said this: :|

[heavenly_home]

:o!! It seems I did. My apologies?
