For those acquainted with her, Sakura Kinomoto has returned home.

[There's a pause. He's waited a good amount of time to say that for sure, mostly because lots of people tended to disappear for a little while and then reappear again, and he had wanted to take that into account.

Now, though... He just doesn't have the time to keep up with it along with the rest of his work, and he doesn't want the cafe to go under when Sakura had kept his things while he had been gone from the Port for that half year.]

She had been meaning offer jobs at the Cats Eye Cafe, thus I'm going to do so in her stead. It was delayed for a while since there didn't seem to be a good time, and while a perfect time may have yet to appear, the Cafe is looking for new waiters, waitresses, and a management position.

I think being able to control our passage would be the best! I mean, I know I don't want to forget anything about this place when I go home.

It's certainly the least that could be done once the Core is fixed. Friends are hard to leave behind.

Do you think they'll really be able to fix it?

Everything can be fixed with time. And if there's no way to fix something, then something new will be made to substitute that.

Wait, how could they make a replacement for the Core?

How do you create a replacement planet?

[There's that tinge of amusement again. But it's a problem he's been working on, and he's certain the solution wasn't far away.]

People are innovative when they need to get things done.

A-A replacement planet? There was really something like that in your world?

It's something we're working on, yes.

When you know that your world is going to end within a few hundred years, it gets people working hard to save everyone.

Perhaps that would be the same with the Core. With enough determination, I'm certain the scientists here would be able to either fix or recreate its effects eventually.

W-Wait, why is it going to end?

Without messing it up even more?

Various reasons. We've been in a precarious situation for a while, and time deteriorates all things. What we know for sure is that within five hundred years... Cocoon would crash on Gran Pulse and obliterate all life on the planet. There is no escaping that scenario, and thus the best method is to create an arc where humanity survives.

A new world, by that time.

And yes, I believe that's possible. There's always going to be-- glitches, when working with prototypes and experimenting, but eventually, they may have a working method of replicating Core energy.

What's Cocoon?

As long as the glitches don't do bad things to anybody!

Cocoon is-- my home world. Gran Pulse is the world underneath.

So they're just going to crash into each other?

They were supposed to a while ago. When I first came here... I believed they already had. It was only due to great sacrifices that people were able to get 500 more years to come up with a solution to save everyone.

[Let's not mention the 1/3 of the population who died anyway from the mere dislocation of the planet.]

Great sacrifices?

Yes.

--Heroes who gave everything they could in order to save a population of people not their own, and who wanted them dead.

They became legends to live up to at home.

That's so sad...

They weren't sad. Sometimes that's the best thing to remember for those left behind.

How could they not be sad?

They stayed together and had each other. The did the best they could in an impossible situation.

[And he knew them well enough to know that at the very least, they were satisfied with the end results.]

Think of... the best thing you've done in your life, and how you felt afterward knowing that you gave it your very best and it all worked out.

But if they sacrificed everything, they didn't have an afterwards, did they?

[They will if Hope has any say in it, but... he's quiet a moment, remembering.]

Sometimes... it's not a question of can or can't. There are some things in life you just do.

Because those are the things that would save the people you love.

I know there are times like that, I do, but that doesn't mean it should come to that for anybody.

Of course not. But there's no way of making sure things never come to that. Things happen, and events escalate.

The best we can do is be prepared for it. For anything, really.

Isn't preparing for it accepting it, in a way?
