What else can you tell me, about him?

He's...altogether nice. He watched over us for a long time and was our friend. He seems a little witless sometimes but he's smart.

But he betrayed you.

Now that I think back on it, he's...partially responsible for my friends being in so much danger.

I'm sorry.

[She looks away briefly; she doesn't want him to see her upset.]

What did he believe was the role of humanity?

I don't know. I think...just that we've served our purpose. When they heard about the Fall, they thought it would be a deliverance.

You...truly are a girl of exceptional courage, Minako Arisato.

[That surprises her.]

I'm sorry?

To believe in the world's continuance, for the sake of those you treasure, while men of science prepare for its end.

[She smiles, but it's obvious that she's not happy in the least.]

I just don't want to see everything end so soon. I'm so selfish, Doctor Daedalus, but I never want them to die. I never want them to be sad or to hurt... It's not fair. And when I think that, I realize how selfish and childish I am to think that.

You're not selfish.

[His voice is soft now, offering comfort and leaning closer to the screen.]

Please. Please...Miss Arisato...to wish for someone else's happiness- to give your life, all your strength, for their happiness and well being? It's not childish or selfish at all. It's human- it's...an endless struggle, to pass along something meaningful, to- to see your friends smile, and to give all that you love an opportunity, at your own cost.

I am, though.

[She smiles at him, wiping one of her eyes with the back of her hand.]

It might all be ruined now. They might get hurt or killed and when they go back...something could happen to them. Akihiko-senpai got hurt and I couldn't help him. I'm supposed to protect them.

And now they might throw it all away to kill him.

Minako...

When you've already given all you can give to the people you care for, reduce every risk you can and ease whatever pain you can manage, you can clear every barrier you think may be in the way-

There....comes a point- after you've given them every opportunity, every chance, pour your best advice and best wishes...and you just have to let them live as they are and as they will be.

You've led your team to the best of your ability, right? Fought alongside them, many times?

Do you trust them to make the right choice, now?

[She sighs.]

I know. And I trust them with everything I have. I just don't want to see it all be destroyed because...because they're too concerned with someone who's already dead.

[She doesn't mean Ikutsuki. She means herself.]

Then let them know how you feel.

I can't force them to think anything more than they want to. They're my friends, not my servants.

You can't force them, no. You can only support them.

I know. [She sighs, nodding.]

Have faith. From what you've told me, you've led them very well.

You make it sound like they're nothing without me, Doctor.

On the contrary, if your influence is already within them, they won't ever be without you.

[She can only hope that will continue when they go home.]

I hope so.

Let me know, if this man Ikutsuki makes any threat toward any of you-

I'll get in touch with officers of the law, and do all that I can to ensure your safety.
