On change and sacrifice.

Munna... It's okay. I-I'm...I'm not mad at you, alright? Mire, these things happen, and it's not... I...

[She's at a loss for words. She sits and gathers her thoughts, trying not to cry. Her eyes start misting up anyways.]

You're really brave for doing this, okay? And, and if I was in that spot, I'd be clinging onto anything at this point, instead of t-trying to fix things, a-and...

[She's barely holding tears back now, looking small and scared.]

You'll... you'll come back for me, right?

(Yeah, I'll come back kid. Remember our promise?)

Yeah. Forty days and forty nights, or as long as it takes.

[She puts on a brave face.]

Hey. Thanks for letting me stay til my birthday, Mun. It means a lot to me.

Not sure why you'd wanna come back.

But the gate's always open, right?

Home... It isn't the most fun place when you have to listen to political commentators bad-mouthing you on the news every day due to your age, and people challenging you and attacking you due to your job every other day.

And it's just that-

[A tear or two leak out, but she tries to summon all of her bravado to keep from crying.]

You guys are my friends. My honest to god friends. A-And it's gonna be hard out there with just Maria and Rob, and...

And I'm gonna miss you guys! I'm gonna miss you so much!! You an Lucas and Ace and Milo, even Archer and Hazama!!

I just don't want to go home!

[...Okay. For once, Irene's not gonna be a fuckin' ass and actually keep her remarks to herself this time, because she can see that Hazel's... pretty upset, here.]

Hey, you'll be okay, kid. Like I said, the gate's open any time, right? Wouldn't surprise me if I see you trying to jump from rooftops again in a month or so.

...Don't actually do that, by the way.
