Even if we do get it back, it's like... So many things that were not great happened there, and it feels like if I did go back - everything would just be a reminder.
I think that there is something to be said for a healthy amount of realism. After all, to ignore the world around you and charge forward is hardly a strategy either.
[lune doesn't really fault her for that, but he offers a smile anyway.]
From what I have seen... it takes both understanding of limitations and faith in others to truly enact change.
[that seems to be something that lune is at least ruminating on, though?
not in any type of brooding way - only lost in thought.]
I was once a being that existed for only one purpose... and now I may pursue that which I desire. I do not know if I deserve thanks, for living the life that I now get to choose.

[Hm.]
Can it be you? Because I'd like to just get this done quick.
no subject
[yeah he hadn't seen that coming]
If you find me an appropriate recipient, then I suppose that should be fine.

After all this is over... I don't want to go home.

... your task has been granted - you are free to change your power as you wish.
[that said]
Is there a reason for your wish?

[easily - and then there's the pause at that]
I see, I see... You wished to repair some of the damage to your world, did you not? Would you like to see to that first, and then take your departure?
no subject
[She nods, though.]
Yeah, ideally, but... Nothing's ever that easy or simple, right?
no subject
[emma has a new power nice nice nice -
but that said lune will pause before offering her a fond smile]
Certainly not.
However with determination and wit, I think that nothing is ever impossible either. I will support you in every way that I can.

Sorry. I shouldn't be a pessimist.

[he'll just gently reassure her of that - ]
On the contrary... I think you are well on your way to accomplish your goals.
I often think you are capable of more than you are aware.

Thanks. It means a lot to hear you say that.
no subject
... your humanity is a gift, Emma.
Even if you find obstacles ahead of you here, I have faith that you will be able to cause ripples even larger than you know.
You may have more faith in others if you would like... but I would also like to see you have greater faith in yourself.
no subject
[Especially not people she looks up to, which probably explains the small, pleased smile on her face.]
But, hey - you too, you know? The whole... ripples thing.
[nailed it]
no subject
Thank you.
All that I do is with the hope that each of you will find peace.

Regardless... thank you, for your thoughtfulness.
