That's okay! [ Miyako's response is immediate and quick, a whirlwind as ever as she adds: ] I just wasn't here for any of that...! So I want to know more.
I need to know more.
[ How did it get that far? Why did something so warm have to disappear - No. Miyako had said they would meet again, she has to believe in that. It's not really an end (or is it, she'll think later, of the fluttering of light as something's extinguished). She'd promised to not let their message be forgotten and it's something she's determined not to do.
But then. She simply is who she is: ]
She was willing to sacrifice herself for all of us... Even if some the things she did was wrong and hurt others... She was warm.
[ She has? No other way to explain it and she knows it sounds silly - in the light of everything, but it's important. Because that warmth had been comforting and gave her hope; Something to believe in, if only fleetingly. That's what the Sanctifier was for her. ]
