Erm...it ain't that I'm ungrateful, Mizz Mun. Far from it.

I just don't reckon a lot of them folks is gonna understand me and mine.

Does that make a lick of sense?

Is it necessary for them to understand you?

[garmayzaya]

[She'll stare for a moment, then smile politely, lowering her eyes.]

No'm. It ain't necessary. But most folks are just more comfortable with them that they understand.

[shapeofawheel]

It is true that there are few who truly understand—of all the people that I have met, they have been few. But the search for them was... very much worth my while.

[garmayzaya]

Like a quest of some kind?

[shapeofawheel]

You could say that. Although ultimately, I think the quest was theirs.

[garmayzaya]

Sounds mighty exciting.

[shapeofawheel]

Perhaps it was. I found it to be more of a relief.

[garmayzaya]

How's that?

[shapeofawheel]

A war fought far longer than any human was meant to fight. Being reunited with my brother only to lose him again. And so many who died because of him, and because of me.

[garmayzaya]

Oh.

That don't sound so...

Yeah...

[shapeofawheel]

The future is averted. The world continues onward, without us. All is as it should be. I could not ask for anything more.

[garmayzaya]

Ain't right to ask for too much anyay.

[shapeofawheel]

[ She smiles, fondly. ] I once knew a young woman who wanted to own the whole world.

[garmayzaya]

Did she get it?

[shapeofawheel]

That remains to be seen. Her future is yet before her, though I think she has found that there are other things more important to her.

What is it that you desire?

[garmayzaya]

Me? I...I don't rightly know. Never really thought about it before.

Is that a bad thing?

[shapeofawheel]

[ A wistful smile, remembering the first time she met Samidare Asahina. ]

It just means you haven't found something to want yet.

[garmayzaya]

Just as well. Don't want to be greedy.
