[ would a love hotel have a conference room somewhere on the ground floor? if not this can take place at the ice cream... place. there's frozen desserts, that's the important part. ]

You're going to have to thank Ranpo-san for asking actual questions at Composer-san. I think my poor Player brain broke a little, but I'm better now! We had similar ideas on what to ask though, so I guess we were alright as partners, haha.

[ hands terra an ice cream bar. ]

Ice cream helps with truth, I did learn that!

[Terra nods, as if to confirm Madara's story.]

Anthy, right? I talked to Maya, too. It was all a trick... to try to get us to do what we thought we had to do. To see if we would go against it.

[His smile back is small like before.]

I believe in them. I trust they'll do what's right. They did, didn't they? Because they talked to each other about what was going on.

Are they proud of them?

[speckling]

he folds his arms, but not in a hostile way. more to contemplate, he's pretty content otherwise.

I guess if there was a lesson to take from this, "open communication is important". But yes, I have more faith in them. I prefer having independence with thoughts, but to share the sentiments of Maya-san and Anthy-san feels alright. With Terra-san too, I'll believe in them finding the right way.

[ they're good beans. ]

Anthy-san didn't say specifically, and Maya has always been optimistic and never spoke ill of the Players... but I bet it's a yes. On that note, I feel like you got it right because you're the most alike to them, Terra-san.

I'm proud of them, too. Even the ones who made mistakes. I made my own mistakes. Even here...

But that's okay. I won't make them again. [Fingers crossed.] I... offered to be the Composer. To Anthy. But I don't think she wants to return to her world. I don't know what would happen if we traded places.

Anyway... I changed my mind. I hope she isn't upset. I realized... there's some things I still need to do, even if I don't know if I can.

My friends... I have to go back so I can help them. So they won't be alone. I can't give up. I won't.

You all helped me realize that.
