[ Hishi has meticulously gone over every supply they'll need for the trip, so she's confident they're prepared. Or at least, as prepared as they can hope to be.
There's one thing she's not quite ready for, though—or is she? That's the question, apparently. ]
... Before, you once told me that if I liked someone, I should let him know sometime, once I had things figured out. [ She pauses. ] I've thought about it over the last few years, and through careful observation and analysis of Ohmi and Riu's relationship, as well as interrogating the effects of Ohmi's presence on Riu's physiological reactions, I believe this may be "love" now.
[ That's one way to do things, but anyway. ]
Right now, we need to focus on this expedition. However, once that's done with, I have to consider the future. Success will be good for my career, but aside from that...
[ For all of Hishi's usual confidence, except for when her moms are catching her off-guard with their affection, she's starting to look increasingly awkward. ]
... After we come back safely, I think I'll confess. I don't know if he'll accept, but... I should at least try, right?
[ there's something concerning about this trip, and not just because jan is dropping death flags. there's a lot that could go wrong, both for them and hishi—her parents have been gone ten years now? she's not optimistic about their chances in general.
but hilda approaches this with an easy confidence—for now—clasping her hands together in apparent glee. ]
You should!
[ their girl, falling in love for the first time... they grow up so fast. nevermind that she's basically hilda's age now. ]
No matter what he says, it's good that you recognize your own feelings and get them out there. Besides, he's a nice boy—you two would be so cute together!
[ hishi's probably gotten taller over time, but that hasn't ever stopped alyssa from patting her head, just like that very first time all those years ago. ]
Maaaybe don't mention the stuff about collecting data or stalking your friends, though... or, you know what, maybe do, because that's so very you. Kaiza might think that's part of your charm!
[ she grins as her face turns a healthy shade of pink. ]
We're, um... familiar. [ the sacrifices they make for hishi's happiness ] We showed up around the same time—I guess Kaiza needed someone to look after him.
[ then this journey out to the ruins also feels like fate, inevitable. no point dragging her feet about it anymore. she reaches out and takes hishi's other hand, giving it a little squeeze in support. ]

alyssa takes both hishi and hilda's free hands, so that the three of them form their own little ring. ]
