[ quiet nod to that ]

And neither of us are alone to deal with them. Even if it takes time to face them.

...I was.

I was for so long and I....I didn't know how to change that.

Zelos kept trying to get me to. Hurt him a lot never getting it right...

You're not void.

You're part of what exists, what is. And death is part of balance of life.

You were. I felt that.

Who is Zelos?

But the future of my relationship with you is void. So stop trying to define it before it's had a chance to happen.

Let life happen.

The first person I touched in Kyriakos. [She looks at her hand.] He grabbed my hand and gave this cheesy pick up line. And it just....kept going with first. First person who trusted me, first person to really get me to open up. First gift, first present.

Roxy of Kyriakos wouldn't be who she is if not for him.

I'm not clinging to more false hope! Haven't you already forced enough on me?!

Wouldn't know!

I don't deal in false hope!

YOU DO!

Trying to tell me it'll get better, that I can fix it, when I have NEVER FIXED IT! [Shoving him away and backing away from him.] I could never fix it, I could never make it better, I try and try and try and I knew all the important part, but I still couldn't do it!

I lead my friends to die to try and save them and I DIDN'T!

They sound like very important firsts. It's good he was in your life.

You got the hope all by yourself. All I did was tell you the truth of leaving this world, and what it meant if you changed your memories.

The idea of how to fix everything by tweaking your own memory was all yours.

Can't blame me for your own ingenuity, Roxy.

I don't even know if it'll work! I don't know what I KNOW, and it's fucking ME and I learn everything!

They were.

And it was.

And I hurt him so much...

...We all hurt people.

[ Life....... ]

Were you able to fix things?

Somewhat. Not as much as I should have.

Would he want you feeling like that?

If even you don't know for sure, then that means there's still hope.

And that's not fake hope, it's the real stuff. All that's left is to believe in it and give it your all. And what happens, happens.

And what always happens is people die.

Where's the balance in that?

I fought so hard. I kept trying and trying and doing everything I had to for a chance at happiness and....and I don't get it.

It's not fair.

Probs not, but he's kind of self sacrificing.

Mm... Can you still make up for it?

...dunno. He went home.

[ thinks about that ]

Even if he can't see it, would doing things with him in mind be enough to make up for it?

...I know the feeling.

I had to kill my own sister to try and get everyone's happiness. Y'know? And I don't even know if I made it out.

But all I can do is keep believing. In myself. In my own power. No matter how many times I've been beaten up or worn down.

Maybe he just hasn't gotten the chance to do it yet. I mean, I'll be the first to tell you, the more I learn the less I understand about where you're from, but if your world was destroyed before he could, he wouldn't have done it yet, right?

If you haven't lit a thing on fire yet, no matter how much you intend to, it isn't burned yet. So if you haven't changed time yet, it isn't changed yet. Doesn't mean it can't happen.

[In fact, he might be reaching to grab that glass shard from your hand. ...yes, it's so that he can set it on fire. orz]

And as for us Rats... It's not like anyone's gone for good, right? We'll see Zelos again someday, I know it. And everybody in the pods is just sleeping.

And Jo, Fiere, and I haven't left, right?

So what? Right when it was all falling apart, the Reaper arrive right then? I dunno, the fact two time gods were all up in our business, seems weird there was no warning of it.

It's not like we had all the time in the world to sit around.

[You and your fire. Well, you get the glass. She was holding it out.]

You and Fiere replaced someone who did. And something keeps happening to the Echoes, how long until Jo's gone?
