Is it hard to believe...? [senri laughs at that quietly] I don't know Rise-chan, I think that's one of the few things that I believe in more than anything else. That the gods have all come to care about us in their own time... since you all were people once too, right?
But... yeah, you're right. I'll - try to figure out what to do. Even if all I can do is talk to people, I guess I'll just chat everyone's ear off.
Most of us, yeah. Even knowing that, I think some of you are still angry we brought you here...and I get it, but I wish it wasn't that way.
...I was an idol before the ascension, Senri. I thought it wasn't that big of a deal, that I was smiling and singing and making people happy. But my message spread a lot further than that. So don't sell yourself short, 'kay?
.... I guess, but.... I still think it's up to people to make the most of their situations, too. We're all here, but it doesn't have to be all bad. I don't think... it's even mostly bad. I think it's mostly been good, despite everything.
[despite the heartache.
but he'll offer her a smile at that]
Thanks Rise-chan. I'll do my best - like always. But... being an idol suits you, I think. That's not surprising at all.
Whether you guys notice or not? You've all grown and changed a lot since the first week. That alone has been worth it.
But I know you will. I've always had faith in that. [She laughs though.] You think? That wasn't always true, but I'm glad to hear it now. I just hope it stays like that even as a goddess.
[so that they can enjoy what time they have left. but he smiles at her at that]
I'm sure it will... I didn't tell you - but right after going to Cheri's Costume Hall that first week, having a quick chance to dance with you was the other thing that made me feel right at home. You carry a really comforting energy with you.... I'm sure that's why your followers are all so loyal, too.
Ray-kun told me that it was weird being on Love, which never gained a new follower for a while but - you were never going to lose a single one of them either, because they were so loyal.
[...that's maybe one of the nicest things anyone's said to her because she's just staring at him for a moment before there's a very soft smile.]
I'm only as strong as the people around me. I think we all are. [...] My followers are some of the greatest people I've ever met. I don't think I could have made it this far and made the decisions I have without them.
We will...I'm not giving up just yet. I have to keep fighting for them. [Their ice cream is maybe melting by now.] We still have time...let's see what we can do together.

And that's all because of you.

We'll all just have to work hard together for that goal.
