Then shouldn't we at least try to respect the choices she made? That won't make it hurt less, but I think that's the least we can do now, besides... trying to remember everything we can for her.

And we'll bring her back, no matter it takes. Hikaru-san and the rest of them won't be gone forever.

[ maybe that isn't much comfort. it doesn't change that she's gone now, and that it still hurts. but it's something, isn't it? ]

I don't think she or any of the others would want us to give up on hoping for a better end to this.

(Here, he's quiet. He's not the most open person in the world and right now, he really feels like he's said enough. It's time to listen to others and figure out what he wants to do with those words.

Respect the choices she made.

Bring her (and everyone) back.

Don't lose hope.

The pterodactyl in his arms screeches and takes flight briefly so it can land on his shoulders and snip at his hair. Read the air, Kaze-kun!! This is a serious moment!! Claude holds up a hand, trying to stop the dinosaur,)

... You're right.

(He knows she is. She isn't saying anything he doesn't already know. BUt... it's good to hear it from someone else.)

We'll see everyone again.

[ that answer, somehow, doesn't reassure her. for all that she's trying to help, it feels like she's locked out with everyone else. so she just gives a soft sigh, and goes to pick up her raptor and hug it to her chest. ]

I don't know how long it will take to get her back, or exactly what we have to do to make it happen. I just know that we will, one way or another.

[ she'd gladly give her own life, to make sure that happens. the rest of them matter more. ]

Until then, just - try to remember that you're not alone, okay? None of us are Hikaru-san, but we can still be there for you when you need it. You just have to let us.
