[ well. she's not far but let's just teleport to somewhere more private ]

Thanks, Hikaru. That's very sweet.

[heartablaze]

You're welcome. I know they're all really special to you, no matter where they are. You have a lot of belief in them.

I... don't know if I can ask right now if your team is okay or not.

[glitterbomber]

That's fine, since I... don't know if I can tell you?

[ hm. ]

[heartablaze]

It's okay. We'll ask Haku-san and Ochako-chan, and we'll come to the answer ourselves. So don't worry about that.

That isn't what I wanted to ask you about, anyway.

[glitterbomber]

Oh. So... what was it?

[heartablaze]

[the same thing im asking your other npc unfortunately. Cloud got the tl;dr because he has to suffer but Glimmer can be spared.]

Just for some advice, I guess. Sort of.

It's about what comes next, after this. I know what I want, and I know what everybody as a whole wants. But...

What do you wish for us, Swan-san? Not, like, collectively you with the leaders. I just mean you.

[glitterbomber]

I want...

[ ... ]

Everyone to be able to go wherever they want to, and remember everything. And if they have a wish--

I want everyone to be able to see that come true. Whatever it is.

[heartablaze]

And if something bad happens?

If we were all to start splintering tomorrow, and you'd want your team to remember anything at all - besides how to get out of here [Because Cloud took that answer] - what would you want them to know, without any doubt?

[glitterbomber]

... That's a horrible scenario?

[ WHY WOULD SHE WANT THIS ]

[heartablaze]

[she just kind of shrugs a little helplessly and waits for an answer]

[glitterbomber]

... Well, it's not going to happen, obviously, so I'm not going to think about it.

[ so there ]

[heartablaze]

[She just laughs a little.]

That's an answer in itself, I guess, isn't it?

[glitterbomber]

[ it's the she-ra answer where you live in denial and power through while screaming internally ]

Yep! [ sure. ] Does... that help at all?

[heartablaze]

Yeah! It lets me know what's important to you, Swan-chan. Even if you don't wanna think about it... I think that means your belief in us being victorious is more important than worrying about what else might happen, you know? At least... that's the feeling I get.

I've made a lot of bad mistakes here because I assumed too much. So... I didn't want to go walking into something so important without at least asking you guys for your feelings.

[glitterbomber]

... That's nice of you, but honestly, after all of this, I don't know how much our feelings matter. I think our feelings might have let you down a lot, previously. [ a beat ] Obviously, it wasn't ALL our fault, but-- still.
