<Music: In the Devastated Town>

Ah... Hibiki... Um...
How are you?
Um... Huh? I'm, er, okay... Thanks.
So... why did you come here, Hibiki?
I came for you.



Hey, Hibiki... Can I ask you something...?
Why did you decide to support Yamato's merit system...?
I want a better world.
I see... I'm amazed, though, at how clearly you can state your own goals.
Don't run from your desires.



<Music: Elegy>

Why say unpleasant things out loud? We'd get along just fine if we kept quiet...!
That's "getting along?"
But...!
I...
...I think you're right. It's just... easier this way...



That's cowardice.
Yeah... It was. I knew it.... and pretended that I didn't...
But... that won't do me any good.
I lost to you because I've been deluding myself...
Then don't do that.



...I think I see now why you're so strong.
You have a strong will. That's the thing that drives you to help better the world...
I... need to try harder. At this rate, the world will be ruined, and so will I...
Let's do this together.
Together...? You want me to help you make a better world?
Um... sorry, this might sound weird, but...

<Music: Over the Brink of Death>



I'm still not entirely okay with the idea of a merit system, but with you...
So please, let me join your side.
Of course.
Well, um... I'm going to go get my things. I'll see you soon...

You say your farewells to Io before leaving.
