[ ... She's aware of that more than anyone, Fuuka. You are preaching to the choir, one that knows the bitter pain of loss far too well.
At this, she just sighs. She's really not in the mood for this and she had to keep her false bravado up, but she DID just die and come back again, after all.
She leans back on the tree she's under, quiet. She has a really bad headache right now and to be honest, she really can't keep this up. ]
... Believe me, if I could have avoided dying again, I would have. It wasn't much better than the first time around. But if I had to do it all over again and not come back just to save the people that were on that island... then I'd do it in a heartbeat. But... please don't ever assume I don't know the value of losing people or even my own life.
[ Her old stomach wound is aching, now, just thinking about it. She absently places her hand there, eyes closed. ]You're young, you know? And my Persona told me he was a good kid... so I don't regret it. I would rather brush this off than dwell on what is and isn't
( ... )
*Despite wanting to cut to protest, Fuuka keeps her mouth tightly closed. Especially when she said she died again (this happened before ...?). But Maya's tired expression prevents her from doing so. It's an oddly sad one.*
... I, I'm sorry. *Because she doesn't know what to say at this point without being ... too stressing.* I should've asked the situation first.
It's just I.... - um! If you're still hungry, there are some food in the dorm's kitchen. Would you like to come back ...?
[ Haha, oh Fuuka... it is oddly sad. Her life isn't easy, but she will never admit to being sad. At this point, she's just... tired.
So tired. It's just been one thing after another and then she wakes up in Vatheon and then this--she wants a break. She wants to see her friends. But she knows... that's not possible. She's dead. They're not. They shouldn't be here, she'd just burden them and make them hurt if they lost her again... ]
It's okay... I'm just tired... really, really tired. I'm sorry, you know? I just... I really don't need to be told that. I... I know.
[ She knows more than she wants to ever admit. Hell, in her purse right now is a handstitched bunny, all she has left of her father. ]
Besides... it's up to us adults to give you kids guidance, not the other way around. I can take care of myself, alright?
*It's up to us adults to give you kids guidance, not the other way around ...
Really, Fuuka is touched by what she hears. All her life adults have been oppressive figures. Instead of guiding, they dictated. She is on better terms with her parents, but it still wasn't easy to talk to them.
But on other hand, she thinks it sounds rather lonely - like an adult couldn't depend on someone young, couldn't lean on their shoulders. It doesn't help that most of the people living in the dorms are kids around Fuuka's age.*
... I understand. *And she does look considerably calm.* I just wish ... I could help somehow.
Grazie. It's a lot less boring, I'll give it that! Hey, you guys should go out and have fun or something now that everyone's okay. Kids should enjoy themselves, right?
Um, yes everyone is back to normal. It has been several days actually.

[ She's so unbothered by this, why--you just died Maya why aren't you bothered. ]

*Her voice goes shakes slightly but she tries to be brave. And Maya should be at least a little bothered. What will her kids say?*
What about you? Are you okay?

I'm fine, just a little hungry. Apparently coming back to life does that!

Oh if you're hungry, there is some food in the -

You died on that island?

Oh, yeah. I guess I did! But it's no big deal, my throat's just a little sore!

Please don't say that! Life - life is very important. You have to take good care of it.

[ Nevertheless, Maya is eternally cheerful and optimistic. It is lonely, but she's okay with it. ]
All of you remind me of my friends! So it's okay.

*And there Maya, a small smile. Small, but a smile nonetheless.*
Then. Um, I don't know if these are exactly right words to say, but welcome back.
