We need to stop having so much in common.

... But thank you. I'd like to get everyone back to where they need - or want - to be. I think after everything I've done, that's the very least I can do now.

[ambiography]

We owe it to you too, Otome, don't forget that. All of us might have agreed to the job, but-- someone was going to have to.

[momming]

I know. I just wish, selfishly...

[ She thinks back to the very beginning, with her and Rupert. The look on his face when they'd reluctantly agreed to do this in the first place. ]

I wish I could have been the person so many people thought I was, the whole time.

[ambiography]

...Otome, what you've done doesn't mean that you weren't still that person.

[she says that quietly, gently.]

Or that you aren't now.

[momming]

... You really seem to have an extraordinary amount of faith in me, Lucy.

[ with a fairly frail smile. ]

[ambiography]

Well, I think you've earned that.

[regardless of anyone else's opinions.]

[momming]

... I'm so glad I was able to meet you. And even gladder I was able to become your friend.

[ambiography]

So am I, Otome. Without you here-- it would have been pretty different.

[momming]

Then I'm definitely glad we had each other, to get as far as we did.

[ambiography]

And however this ends-- we're both going to be here for it.

[momming]

[ She nods. ]

... Let's do what we can. To get everyone to where they deserve to be.
