[ that's a real soap opera situation, isn't it? Not that they have room to talk, considering the sordid saga Hisato's left for them. Still - the rich really lead different lives. Mizuki's eyes widen a bit. ]
Now you're here, [ they repeat. ] ... What will happen to her and the rest of your family without you?
[ they'd teased him about playing hooky with school, but being absent from the family business sounds like it's an actual, serious problem. ]
I don't really know. [Which is Bad.] I believe when we ascended, something must have taken our place to ensure the worlds we came from remained balanced. But that's not my story anymore.
...I know it was perhaps a mistake, but I really think being here means I can have better influence going forward.
[ god, they feel like they're looking at themself, in a way. They still wholeheartedly believe that Tamaki is a better person than they are - kinder, more generous, more loving - but this part, the part that wants to throw away his own feelings for the sake of being better for everyone else? That's familiar. They suppose that's how this conversation started in the first place. So their pause only lasts a few seconds. ]
[There's a very, very long pause because Mizuki's just hit the crux of the problem.]
For a while. But it will be alright. As we go forward and make the new world, I'll have things to occupy me. Plus I have Antoinette. And memories of all of you. How could I be lonely with those?

Won't you be lonely, Tamaki-kun...?
