[?????????????????????????????????]

Hikaru....what world are you from?

[heartablaze]

...Cefiro?

I don't think it's where I was born or anything. But it's the only place I know.

[robopriest]

[Can you feel the utter crushing emotion that's going through Hansa right now. He's just so tired, so suddenly.]

Hikaru, I'm very sorry, but I think I just discovered something you forgot.

[heartablaze]

[well, thanks to emotion share, yes she does in fact feel that very, very deeply all of the sudden, and she visibly wilts

Oh. Was he...

...]

You did, huh?

Um. Is... that what you were just trying to tell me, Hansa-san?

[robopriest]

Yes.

[He just heaves a sigh.]

Anyways, there's no use in going over it. [He really doesn't want to focus on that, and worry her further.] What are you planning to do with all these countries?

[heartablaze]

For, um... for this exact reason, actually.

[She'll pull out her very, very folded paper and hand it to him. All it has is her name at the top, the word "ice cream" at the bottom... and nothing else.]

Here... Whatever it is you figured out, can you, um... can you write it somewhere on my paper? Put a star or a smiley or your own name next to it, okay?

[robopriest]

...Okay.

[He'll take the paper and hopefully a marker, looking down at it.]

[He writes "EARTH" on it, first.]

[And next to it, he puts a smiley face, but draws an eyepatch over the right eye.]

[A pause.]

[And then he writes "SHE'S A NICE GIRL" underneath all of that. Here you go, Hikaru.]

[heartablaze]

[She'll give him her pen it's fine we'll roll with it.

When she takes the paper back, she'll pause, a flicker of relief that she can see the smiley-face...

...

and then smile, sincerely touched and yet deeply, achingly guilty when she sees what she CAN read.]

Thank you, Hansa-san.

[robopriest]

[He just chuckles, concerned about the guilt, but glad overall that it had the intended effect.]

Haha, I guess you didn't forget about that.

[heartablaze]

It's be really sad if somebody couldn't remember what a compliment was... but if it happens, this is how we can know.

[She'll hold up her paper, as well as all of what she's managed to put on his: HANSA CERVANTES, SPAIN/UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PRIEST, GREW UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, BISHOP DILO]

Hansa-san, I can see the drawing, but, um... if you wrote anything next to it, that's what I can't see. The paper just looks blank to me.

I know you told me you live in Spain. But if it's anything like what happened to Elsa-sama... if you were to forget, even though you just wrote it down for me... you might look at this paper, where I've written you're from Spain... and not see anything at all someday.

[robopriest]

...

[That's...]

[He can't help the wave of sadness that comes over him. So he could even be unable to see some of this. Maybe Bishop Dilo will be nothing but a blank space. Maybe he'll have no idea what Spain is, and who he is. How...scary, really.]

Still, this is good, Hikaru. [He might be sad, but...there's hope here, too.] Even if I can't read this someday, others can. My memories will live with them, instead.

[heartablaze]

Yeah. I was able to do this with a bunch of the others, though I, um... I haven't gotten everyone yet. I know some people haven't really wanted to speak with me. But Yoshizawa-chan and Chijin are gonna try and help me.

[...

A beat, a mild ripple of guilt, of concern.]

I'm sorry, Hansa-san. I didn't mean to make you sad with this.

[robopriest]

Hey, no, its okay. My emotions are my own. You aren't the cause of them.

[He wants to reach over and ruffle her hair, but he knows he can't do that.]

You're doing a good job.

[heartablaze]

[A beat. Something warm blossoms in her chest, proud and touched.]

We all are. At least... I want to hope we all can.

I wouldn't do stuff like this if I thought I couldn't believe in the rest of you, at least a little.
