[you should really ask about it at some point you numbskull]
I wouldn't really say that. I just... know what it is that's important to me, I suppose. Even if there's things I would rather have different... I think it's better for me to look at what I have, and find what I can there, than... than ache for something else.
I guess it's why I've been so torn about being in this place. It's... it's horrible. Part of me still thinks that it has to be a punishment. But...
I remember looking out the window, and seeing a blue sky... and thinking about how wonderful it might be to see a blue sky the next day, and the day after that... to feel a breeze or sit in a field of grass or listen to birds sing.
It's... almost cruel, in how nice it all is. I don't really know how I feel.
I-I... we're nearly sixty years apart in history... I won't even exist until you're well into your thirties... Of course it would need something like that...
But... [The thought of waking up to that blue sky, to fresh air, to a world where billions of people still lived...]
I... I think if I could, I... I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind at all.

That's such an optimistic take on it, Luna.
[and he can't help but feel the slightest warmth of admiration when she says this]
You're. . . a very strong person.

Knowing what's important to you is a type of strength, in my opinion.

When all of this is over and done with, you should come visit my world.
[oh??]

It catches her by surprise, enough that she can't even seem to form words.]
You... you mean to Tokyo?
...
I... I don't think I really could...
[She's... she'd dead, Akira.]
no subject
Why not? I bet there is a way for you to visit me if we asked the sisters to provide one.
no subject
[mmmm this feels like it might be an argument she can't win. Besides... it's not as though the idea is unappealing.]
It... it would have to involve some time travel, but...
I've always wanted to see what the world looked like... [Y'know before it all went to shit.]
no subject
[they don't need time travel!! she's alive right here!! she can just hop back to his world directly from the mansion, right??]
[but it's the second part of what she says that draws a smile from him]
It's beautiful. You'd. . . really like it.
