What I mean is--

We're friends, aren't we?

I've been worried about you. Even though I've seen you since that incident, my qualms haven't exactly been quelled.

(Her voice, when it finally comes, is a whisper.)

...Why?

No matter how old you are, you're still only human. And humans have limitations. There's only so much the human heart can bear on its own.

I bear the body of a child so that I might bear the pains of the children of Heliud.

Why do you bear that form?

Because...

I love humans. So much.

Yet they are the ones who persecuted you.

Yeah. But I still love them. You, more than anyone, must understand those conflicting feelings.

And you love them too, don't you? If you didn't, you wouldn't be alive.

It's the same for me. But in the end, something made me remember just how much I love them.

And it's the same for you. Something--or someone--made you remember why you love humans.

Love doesn't go away. In the end, it may be forced to assume a different shape, or its relevance to your life may diminish. But if you love someone, you'll always love them. If you love something, you'll always love it. No matter what distance or conflict grows between you; no matter how deeply averted you become from that love.

It's that love--that strange, beautiful brand of human love--that made me choose to be born.

And you?

Oh, sorry. I got off track. [Scratching his cheek.]

Would you like to meet somewhere, Lala Ru?
