[So much of her happiest moments revolved around that close set of friends, didn't they? She could feel that in her a little bit, and it made her smile as she ate, nodding occasionally. They were simple things, but simple things could be truly pleasant memories.

And deep down, she remembered then that Makoto's parents had passed away. She started to wonder if maybe some of her loneliness came from it, the joy of people being close. Oh, right, she was being asked something? Right? Oh, of course, she'd asked the same thing. That was easy.]

Some of my most wonderful memories were a little bittersweet, yet still times of great joy. They were weddings, like the one I just saw. I had the joy and privilege to live in the company of one family for five generations and I saw all five of them wed. Leonhardt, Ladius, Thoma, Duran and now Rex. [It killed her a little that she hadn't seen Rex's wedding yet in reality.]

The joy and hope that came every time, and every day that we saw their son born... Dyshana's child will be a hope for a new future for that family.
