[VIDEO] 005 ☽

[messianic]

[This is a tired Minato on your SFCs today, Vatheon. It's been a few days, but what could he do? Pull people out of their safety to ask them to help him? Distract from the effort to save the city because he has a somewhat selfish request to make?

Of course not. But now that the fish monsters are gone, he has no issues with asking. Because after Aigis' breakdown, this has to happen.

At the very least, he's no longer very sick.

But first--]

I hope everyone is alright. It seems like most of the creatures are gone, but there might still be a few we missed, so be careful. If anyone is in need of any healing, please let me know. I'd like to thank everyone who helped with the Defense Force as well.

[Even if they didn't stop every death, it was a start. He has to believe they can get better from here. ...Ahem.]

If...there's anyone who is good at fixing things, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know. I need some help with something really important.

[For a moment, he looks sad, but then he shakes it off. He's about to shut off the feed from there, when he seems to remember--]

Ah...one more thing. Adachi-san seems to have gone home. At least he wasn't hurt by the monsters.

[...a contemplative shake of his head and he shuts off the feed.

Click!]

I'll do my best. Should I come over now?

[A pause, as his smile fades.]

And... is that what's bothering you?

[messianic]

[He pauses also, for a moment surprised.

And then he nods slowly.]

Yes.

But...when she's fixed, it'll be alright.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

[A nod]

Yeah. Everything will work out, I'm sure.

[messianic]

...Thank you, Renton-kun.

I...appreciate it.

[The offer. The reassurance. The willingness to be there. He does.]

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

No problem. It's what friends do for each other, isn't it?

[messianic]

[It's just...a little unusual for the reverse to be true.]

That's right. It is. I'm very lucky that way, here.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Huh? What about back home?

[messianic]

[Ah--!]

...I didn't mean that I don't back home. People are very friendly here though, aren't they?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

They really are! It makes me happy to see that.

[messianic]

[Mmm, he nods slowly.]

If we can all exist together happily in a place like this, I think it's possible in our own worlds as well.

It's an uplifting thought, isn't it?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Yeah! It'll probably take a while, but... even if some might consider it naive, I really think that it's possible!

[messianic]

[A tilt of his head at that. Because he truly believes--]

There's nothing wrong with some optimism. Naive or not.

I think it's possible too.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

I'm really glad to hear that. Not a lot of people do, after all...
