[She didn't used to think that way. Even during the killing game, she'd been insistent that they'd all get out together, that no matter what, as long as they didn't give up hope, everything would be okay.
Then she'd killed Rantaro. Then she'd been executed. Then she'd been brought here, and had to kill those cultists to rescue Akira, and had to watch the people here die to the sandworms, and there's just so much death it feels like it's dogging her footsteps like the punishment Monokuma never got to finish inflicting on her.

But... you know? You weren't here for the mission in New Aspen, right? But... we did a lot of good there. Everyone... everyone was able to protect the town. We were able to get their mayor to confess what he'd done wrong, and we were able to bring peace between the people and the spiders. Even if that big tree is still there, everybody... they're in a better place now than they were before.
So... maybe there will be more heartbreak in the future. But there'll be good things, too! [She squeezes his hand, and this time, the smile she gives him is a little more genuine.] As long as we work together.
[ When he first arrived, everyone at the moonbase was very excited about their victory in New Aspen. He didn't get much detail about what happened though. The Reclaimers did some real good there, huh? He'd like to be a part of that.
All he has witnessed is the destruction of this desert town, but she's right. It's not worth it to give up. Not here. It's rough, and will continue to be rough, but there will be good times ahead. The proof is right next to him, holding his hand. He squeezes her hand back and nods. ]
