「What do you wish for?」
『To win.』
「Are you certain you can?」
『I will. Not just for me, or for my teammates...』
『...But for you as well.』
She chuckled, and then she laughed.
He widened his eyes, not because of her laugh, but of how she looked like she was glowing. Somehow, he found warmth with her and her presence.

"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
