Mm... It might take a while to figure out, though. The leaders have a better chance of figuring it out than we do, but they still seem pretty confused.
[ ochako, internally: you make a lot of assumptions, don't you
ochako, externally: ]
Not all of it, but they do have a leg up on us, don't you think? They were here longer, and the Realm talks to them, not us. Sure, we can help as much as we're able, and I definitely want to, but it's hard to tell how much we will be able to.
[ ochako knows better than to press someone who doesn’t want to talk. ]
Anyway, the leaders have mentioned disturbances with the nova before. Resolving the one from what Viridian-san did must have triggered a bigger one than the lost items we saw before.
Yeah, exactly! That's why I don't think it's a bad thing if we make the make the most of the changes while we figure everything else out, you know? It's one step toward the way home.
[ she goes quiet for a moment to consider that. izumo does have a point, but... well, even if it does come at a high cost, ochako can't imagine letting a wish, if it's real, go to waste.
but she won't argue that point. she can't fault izumo for sticking to her principles - it's kind of admirable, really. ]
Why not? There isn't anything you'd want? Nothing at all?
Huh... I kind of envy you for that. The entire reason I wanted to become a hero is... kind of selfish, in a way, so if the wish is real, I don't think I'd be able to say no to using it to make that happen.
Mm, but no one's entirely anything. Even the best heroes have flaws, and... I don't know, the worst villains probably have some good points, too. I don't think anyone should be afraid of that.

Isn't that a bit of a contradiction?

What do you mean?

In a way, isn't that a good thing? —collecting big novas. It's what they say that we need to do. Collect enough nova and then we'll be gone.

[ just sayin' ]
Time will tell if they're actually going to keep good on that promise or show us just what it'll cost us.
[ since, you know, there's no defined among of nova they need to collect. ]

What cost would be too high for you, Kamiki-san?

Nope. Nothing.

Never would have thought that you'd honest about that kind of thing.

Why wouldn't I be honest? It's a little embarrassing not having more altruistic motives, but it's not worth lying about it.

Maybe. I guess a lot of people like to pretend they don't have any flaws, huh?
no subject
It's either they're entirely good or they're entirely bad; anything in the middle is too confusing for most.
