Going to Animus, and not very happy about it...

[uzuki]

So I guess what I want doesn't matter, as usual. Just because you have friends there doesn't mean I should have to suffer. And now you're considering letting me keep my memories? Not that I would want to be trapped there at any point in my life, but at least at Prospero I can feel like I'm avoiding something really unpleasant, not further delaying us from reaching our destination.

I assure you Shion, that I will keep any suffering you might deal with at a minimum.

[uzuki]

KOS-MOS... Thank you. I will be glad to see you again. I would just rather it be in a more pleasant setting.

[kosmic_angel]

You are welcome.

I am sure there are many people here that agree with you in that regard.

[uzuki]

KOS-MOS, you always know what to say, even now. I guess I should have a better outlook, right? Try to make the best of it, since I have no other choice.

[kosmic_angel]

[It's more than she knows what not to say.]

It would be much easier if you did, yes.

[uzuki]

[That too.]

You would say that. I guess I really should try to see things the way you do, just as logical or illogical.

[kosmic_angel]

It is not my intention to cause offense Shion but I do not believe you would be capable of seeing things as I do.

[Whether she means that literally or not is up to Shion to figure out.]

[uzuki]

You're probably right, KOS-MOS.

[Either way really... Shion can admit that.]

I can't say I'll be able to make the best of being there, but if we can help the others trapped there, then maybe it really will be worth it. Does that make sense to you?

[oforder]

The destination you were to arrive at is no longer necessary, Shion.

[uzuki]

No longer necessary? What do you mean..?

[oforder]

Yeshua and KOS-MOS - and by extension, Mary - are now at the Tower. The activation of Anima is no longer a threat to our universe.

[uzuki]

But the others aren't there... And do you really think we'll all be trapped there forever?

[oforder]

Would you not rather they be spared, if Anima were to activate?

[ As for her second question... not even he can answer that truthfully. ]

[uzuki]

I don't know... I want everyone to be free, but I don't want to lose them.

[She really didn't want these big questions again, thanks!]

[oforder]

If it were possible to have both, Shion, I would already be working towards such a goal.

[uzuki]

[That stops her for a second.]

I didn't think something like that would matter to you...

But you really don't think it's possible? KOS-MOS surprised you before. Couldn't something like that happen again?

[oforder]

The eternal recurrence was never intended to be a permanent solution, Shion. It was inevitable that it would fail eventually.

The laws of the Tower differ from that of our own world.
