[Over dramatic? Tsubasa doesn't really know the term.]

...I suppose, when you're thinking about those you've lost, you never think to speak of anything but their best selves. But she very much was just... like us, really. She tried really hard, even if it ultimately was probably her undoing.

[She smiles, a bit sadly, eyes shimmering a little.] I was angry at first, when I thought Tachibana was just trying to replace her. But she has done so much for us, I know that Kanade's last act gave us something that's irreplaceable. Knowing that it wasn't in vain... I am proud that she was by my side for the time she was.

[She lets out a little, uneven breath. It's not very much like Tsubasa to get emotional in this way out in the open, and she quickly regains her composure.] It's because of such things that I want to help the people by my side as much as I can.

[She gives Chris a grin.]

So I'm glad, Yukine. And I'll help you set it up, and keep a look out, so we can make sure as well as we can that nothing happens.
