Yeah...I know it is. Which is why I'm going to work really, really hard. I know...as much as I want it to be perfect, it won't be, and sometimes I'll feel sad or discouraged, but I'm still going to make sure that it's a good world, and not a bad one.
[Justice nods.]
I have! I don't think...too many of them think I should win, because of how young I am, and I understand that, so it's okay. I'm...I-I'm really happy for all the friends I'm making either way.
[ She blows air, ruffling her bangs. She can't believe she's going to say this to this god, but here she is anyway. ]
If you want to win, go for it. Age is a number, and if you have the nerve and the will, show them. You can do anything at any age if you steel your heart for it.
[ Her voice grows soft. ]
One of my oldest and dearest friends decided she wanted to save the world when she was five, and she's worked for it since then.
I know I don't have too much experience, yet, but that doesn't mean I plan on backing down. I want to talk to everyone here, because I learn more and more with each person.
I'd love to. A long time ago, I was building sand castles, and I told Satsuki-chan I'd build her one, too. [ More like, she said she wanted a sand castle, and every little boy in the vicinity rushed to make her one. ]
She said she would turn her sand into concrete and make it into skyscraper because a building that blows away in a gust of wind is worthless. I said, "But all buildings fall down eventually!" Do you know what she said to that?
[ She pitches her voice higher for her five year old self and lower for Satsuki. ]
"Then you should build one in your mind. A skyscraper built int your mind will never fall down."
[ She folds her hands in front of her heart. ]
That's why, if the paper city you're building is also being built inside your heart, it won't ever fall apart.

[Absorbing these perspectives like a sponge!]
Would...would you tell me about your friend?

Build the city...inside my heart.
[He sounds like he's completely entranced, the words sinking in deeper and deeper.]
I can see why you like her so much. That's an amazing way to think.

I love her. Just remember that a city inside your heart can never fall, as long as your heart is strong.
