FOURTY FOUR [VOICE POST; ENGLISH]
Everything seems.. to have calmed down... Good..
... has anyone heard from Sakura or Dizzy? I heard that the people who were murdered are coming back to life now... so...
...
Anyway, I hope everyone's doing well. I'm... ... all right, I guess, ahaha...
The plan was a success, at least...

I'm fine. I think... I found something that was finally able to give me the strength I needed to go on, and so I'm trying to use as much of it as I can to help everyone who has been hurt by all this.
Keigo... Are you all right? You don't-...
...!
Y-you're hurt? What happened, Keigo? Maybe you should go to the clinic right away.

Ah? Really? That's great! I'm glad to hear that!
... [ a pause. he sighs ] .. Mmn.
... I.. .... [ he pauses again ] I confronted her. Kirie. It was part of Sokka's plan to contain Walter, see.. Ichigo, Bou-san and I were meant to distract Kirie from going to help Walter while the others contained him and.. she... [ he trails off ]
I'm sorry, Nill. I broke my promise. I'm sorry.. but, I .. I had to do something. I had to help stop Walter from killing any more of my friends..

I... kind of learned that the hard way. I cried so much before. But... I don't want to do anything like that anymore. My friends don't need to look at me and find another reason to be sad. So... I'm going to try not to cry anymore.
...
Keigo, you... [The text stops, and she pauses thoughtfully after he trails off.]
... I can't say that it's all right so easily, Keigo. When I was finally able to add it all together, what that girl was able to tell me... I was really scared of Kirie, and for you. I... can't say that what you did was okay. She could have...
[There is a pause as Nill swallows hard, trying to hold back. It ends with a small struggling noise, and then she sighs.I understand... I understand that feeling very well. But no one should have to sacrifice themselves, or others. It's not the way that I would ever want it to be ( ... )

I'm glad, Nill. I knew you could find something to hold onto for strength. I just wish I could, too.
[ he pauses, sucking in a breath of air sharply ]
... Still. I made a promise and I broke it.. I feel horrible... I..
[ another pause as he thinks ]
It wasn't part of the plan for me to get cursed. But... I told her I wouldn't run from her anymore. I wanted to prove that to her. To show her that she's wrong about the people here.. so, when she came, I didn't run.. I didn't want to sacrifice myself, but if it would have helped everyone else in the long run, I'm ... I'm glad that I did it. I feel like I served a purpose. I did something right for once.
... But, even so... I .. never wanted to betray you. I never wanted to go back on my word. I feel horrible. I'm sorry.

There are different kinds of strength, Keigo. I think you just need to look for it in the right place, and I'm certain you'll find yours.
[She makes a hesitant noise, as if there is something she wants to tell him but can't. And not just because of her lack of voice.]
...
It's all right, Keigo. It's all right... I know how hard it can be... to want to be strong, and serve a purpose, even when you feel like it would be so much easier to run away. I remember what that feeling was like for me quite clearly, when I was trying to get Pit's bow back from Sasori. Even when I thought that... I wasn't able to do the right thing in the end. Even now, I still don't know the answer...
But you, you did do the right thing, Keigo. You listened to your heart. You have nothing to feel sorry for, and I forgive you. But... please... don't make the same mistake I did. Don't take your own life for ( ... )
