[back from the dead- of course my stomach is empty.. christ.]
I hope I'm getting this right, I don't know why I didn't think to try it before. I've been hearing chattering on this.. radio device. If anybody can hear me.. I don't know what's going on. I don't know how I got here- I don't even know why I'm alive. I can'

Well... When I say that people do their best to make a living here, I mean it more in the sense of survival, Minato. The high school has become more of a shelter than anything else, and everyone tries to do their part to make Discedo safe and livable. The fighters protect the ones who are defenseless from the monsters, and people help each other with food and finding supplies... Things like that.

[She pauses as he explains.]

You were... protecting people during that time? It sounds like it must have been hard for you, Minato... As for me, I... I have never seen monsters like this before, but... people used to be a lot more frightening to me until Haine saved my life.

I'm an orphan, and I came from a city known as the Underground. It wasn't anything quite like Discedo, but it still had its own dangers... It's part of the reason why I... am not in any rush to find my way back home, even if it does mean I can be with my friends again.

... But I'm sorry, Minato. I didn't mean to talk about myself so much. I think that I'd like to meet you too someday.

Nill,
I guess I'll just have to survive too. All I can do is make the best of it, right? Just like everyone else.. [ Just like everyone else.. just like everyone else.. you are so fucking helpless, just like everyone else..]

Actually, whats so hard for me now is that I can't seem to protect anybody. And I feel so damned insignificant in this place right now. The only effective way I could protect anyone has been taken away from me. Back then- back at home- what I did in hopes of helping others backfired on me, in a way. But I made sure I fought until the end to make things right, and when I reached my end I kept on trying.

Hey, don't feel bad about what you said to me. I think I've done enough talking myself for it not to be fair to stop you. :) I'm sorry that things were so hard for you where you come from. But you know, that is just one more reason for me to get on my feet. So I can help make this place better for people like you, who have hopes for this city. So don't worry. *wink* I'm sure when we meet up, we can help each other get through.

I guess you're right. I think that's... what we are all trying to do here, Minato. I can't speak for everyone, but... I think that it is that thought that keeps some of us striving to move forward.

...I don't think that's necessarily true. You don't have to be able to fight in order to protect people. Sometimes kinds words go a long way. Still, I'm sorry that you lost your abilities... I think you'll be able to do more than enough to defend yourself and the people around you if you just keep that katana with you. ...As for your world, I think that... if you did everything in your power to make things right, then... it wasn't a waste. All you can do is try to believe in that now.

Hee. You're probably right about that. It's nothing that you have to be sorry about either, Minato. That was just how my life was, and if it wasn't for that, then I wouldn't have been able to meet the people who would become very precious to me later. Both in that world and this one.

...for people like me? ... Thank you, Minato. I'll try not to worry so much, and... I'll be looking forward to it.
