"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

[ WHY IS THIS SO EASY FOR HER. ]

Would you choose to stay here if you could be with them...?

[bloodandblunder]

[ Because Noire has lost enough to know what's important. ]

I can't... stay, not for good. I made a promise, with the others, that we'd defeat Grima and grant peace to a timeline that wasn't ours. But as long as my friends are here, I won't abandon them either. I think... the greatest strength is the one you have when you're together with the people you care about.

[willbreak]

... I see.

[ His voice lowers now to a barely audible level. ]

There's still a lot I need to learn from you.

[bloodandblunder]

Eh? [ and yet she hears him. ] I-I'm not sure if I'm the best example--

[willbreak]

No...

[ Back to normal volume. ]

You are. You're the last person that would ever betray their heart.

[ Forgive the cheesy. ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ A pause, before she lowers her eyes. ]

No... I've done that before.

[willbreak]

...

If you want to talk about it...

[ Bam, role reversal. ]

[bloodandblunder]

This is about you right now.

... I'm fine, Eugeo. It was just a part of growing up in a war.
