That was... [and he thinks he knows what it might be, but he's speechless, and can't say much more]

[ofgratitude]

[neraiutsuze]

I know it's damn well useless, but... I'm sorry, Allelujah.

...I'd be lying, though, if I said that it was anything but admirable.

[ofgratitude]

It's not your fault, Lockon.

[ofgratitude]

No. I'd be happy to.
