[ ... and then she lets out a breath. ]

Yes.

[damp]

[ Oh. Concern. ]

I'm sorry. That you had to bear that by yourself.

[sootprints]

[ there's a swelling feeling of anxiety, but she tries to keep it suppressed. ]

...

The hosts knew. I was able to talk to them about it...

I don't know if anyone else knows.

[damp]

[ Puts a hand on her shoulder. ]

I won't tell anyone. I wasn't sure if it was you until Maya was revived.

[sootprints]

I see.

I wasn't planning it that way. But then Maya died, and in such a cruel way, and... maybe I panicked. Maybe it was a selfish choice, when she'd only just had a chance to see her friends on the other side...

[damp]

There's no way it was cruel. Maya would be glad to know that someone cared enough to bring her back.

[ Squeezing her shoulder. ]

She's happy at your side too.

[sootprints]

[ amidst the anxiety, there is some feeling of hope, and some warmth as he squeezes her shoulder.

she nods. ]

I hope you're right.

[damp]

I don't doubt it in the least.

[ A pause. ]

And we can talk about it later, but... Does that mean you can see one of the hidden achievements that we unlocked?

[sootprints]

[ a little hesitant, but she nods. ]

Yes. I think Haru was concerned about it, too... but it's nothing you should worry about.

I don't think anyone else would be able to get it, even by accident.
