... I don't know. A lot of the stuff on these adventures seem to match things here. Maybe it's all coincidences, but we can't assume that.

[wisterin]

It all comes down to how much we want to trust it.

[ ... ]

I want to believe in it, at least a little.

[skyagain]

... Yeah. So do I.

[wisterin]

It's something to work towards to, to look forward to, isn't it?

[skyagain]

... Yeah. And I made a few promises I want to keep.

[wisterin]

[ shinobu would smile if she could. ]

I like that about you, Cloud.

[skyagain]

... That I want to keep my promises?

[wisterin]

[ she nods. ]

[skyagain]

... I can't say I'm always successful.

[ there's something a little quiet there. ]

[wisterin]

Wanting and doing aren't the same, but it speaks that you want to.

[ her voice gets quiet in a way, too. ]

Trying is more than a start.

[skyagain]

... Well, that's what we're all doing here, isn't it? Trying.

[ he means here in the garden party in the security room. he is not nice enough to put everyone under the trying their best umbrella ]

[wisterin]

[ i love you, cloud. ]

Yeah. It is. We care enough to.

[skyagain]

... Right.

[ sometimes it feels like it would be so much easier not to, though. god. ]

[wisterin]

[ i wish shinobu were less emo right now, so she could be mildly amused. ]

It's not a burden, is it?

[skyagain]

... Wouldn't call it that, no. Just ... a lot, sometimes.

[wisterin]

[ ... ]

Thank you, for caring enough when others don't. Even if it can be a lot. Or too much.

[skyagain]

Don't... thank me for something like that.

[ this is the worst thing to ever happen to him wtf ]

[wisterin]

I'm too tired to bully you. Accept it tonight.

[skyagain]

[ he is only not saying anything because shinobu is in pain and in trauma but he makes a face ]
