[Maria gestures behind her, not that she really needs to.] My first shinki, before Natsuru...and the other Hibiki, however brief that was.

[Brief or not, Maria still sounds a little sad at the subject. He'd been a good shinki, and a good person. But for now, she focuses more on this Hibiki's attitude to fighting this. It seems like she might need another kick to get there.]

Those people need help. Our fans are relying on us to show them the light. [Playing to what she hopes is a priority to Hibiki.]
