[Terra sits on an upraised ledge on his apartment's rooftop, a slice of evening sky behind him. Those who know him might notice he's looking better than he did a month ago: all the color's back in his complexion and the faint bruising under his eyes has faded. All in all, he no longer has that hit and then backed over by a high-speed glider look to ( Read more... )

Y-You should try and help those birds!

[Then, her expression grows a little more serious. It's something she's been considering lately, too.]

In that case... I think it's better to look for something else to work towards. But if your dream is really important, you have to try not to give up no matter what! Even if it seems hopeless, there's always a chance.

Huh? [He glances over his shoulder.] Oh, they're okay. He's too slow to- [Chomp.] Oro! Hey! You let him go! That's not nice!

[Give him a minute to hurriedly rescue, Cure spell, and release a slobbery pigeon. When Terra comes back to the NV, he looks apologetic.]

He's usually too slow. [Shrug.]

Anyway... I don't know if there is anything else to work towards this time.

[OH GOD NOT THE BIRD

Okay it's cool, we're cool. :')]

In that case... Well, if you worked for something your entire life and one day you realize you can't keep working towards that thing, at least not for a long time, then it's really hard. Because it feels like there's no use for you anymore, right? [Over-identifying? You bet.]

But when something like that happens, maybe you could find another purpose. Like- you could live to protect your friends from all the bad things in this city, so you can be able to see them keep on smiling.

... Right. [Surprisingly right. But he doesn't think to wonder why that might be.]

[Still, he smiles a little.]

That's a great purpose. I don't know if it's a dream, though... Which is what my heart must be missing the most right now. I'm going to protect my friends, no doubt about that. I'll always try to protect what's important. And I'm going to find a house for them to live in and keep working at my job here... I've got a lot of different things to do. Just no dream to chase.

You don't think it's enough, just to do that?

Well... Maybe your dream could have something to do with things you like to do! Like, if there was someone who liked to sing and they wanted to be a professional singer one day. What kind of stuff do you like?

I think it can be for most people.

A lot of the stuff I like wouldn't make the best dreams... I'm never going to be a master stargazer or a master exerciser.

Some people do sports for a living!

They do, don't they? Only problem there is I'm more into fighting monsters than playing games.

But, hey, what about you?

Maybe you could be one of those people who goes around after sirens and makes sure nobody's in trouble!

[She pauses, thoughtfully.]

I don't think I really have much of a purpose as long as I'm here, either. But someone told me they were happy because I'm always smiling... I think if I let something like that get me down, I'd be letting my friends down, too! So until I find something important to work for, I think it might be enough just to be there for them.

I'm looking into helping out with the group that's doing that.

I think you've got a good point about not letting our friends down, too. They deserve to be happy.

I bet you'd be really good at that, Terra!

Yeah, definitely! I'd do anything to make sure my friends were happy. They're more important to me than anything else.

We'll see. Hopefully.

Would you really do anything for your friends? What about protecting them?

Of course I'd do anything for them! I... I don't think I'm the kind of person who could ever be good at fighting, but I'd do whatever it took to protect them.

You might find yourself surprised by your own strength someday. A heart that stands up for its friends packs a lot of power.
