[ The veil of stars around them begin to fade and melt away; later, she'll surely have to ask him what this all was, but for now, no explanation feels as important as... Well, letting Satoru know that he's not alone. Even outside of this hotel adrift in the multiverse, he has his students, too, right? And his allies in other sorcerers...
Just like she has her family, and her precious guests. Even if she doesn't get to see them all too often... Even if it does make her lonely. Even still— ]
...Mm. Lonely, yes. But never alone.
[ There's a difference between lonely and alone... right? She's not so sure, herself, but she'd like to think that there is. The contemplative, poignant look on her face, the hooded gaze of her eyes as she at last draws her attention away from the veil that no longer surrounds them - to try and look at him, though she doesn't quite make it there, instead looking somewhat off to the side. ]
Even though you've lost this important person, you still have your fellow sorcerers, and your precious students, too. [ She moves her arms in such a way that she can then take his hands into hers, instead, if he would allow it. ] In my family, we have this notion that... When a Heartleaf passes on, after hundreds and hundreds of years, their adventures continue through the people they met over their long life. But, you know, I don't think that idea fits only to my family. You understand, right? What I'm trying to say.
[ That even though this person has gone, he lives on in Satoru, and in turn in his friends and students. Perhaps especially his students. ]
