“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

All your names are important. No matter what.

[Sinclair believes this with a certainty - it's not stupid at all.

At home, he had been alone for so long. But now, there were people who understood him in a way he didn't think was possible. Maybe it was the nature of the game to let their real selves shine through]

But "Miharu Mishima"...I'll remember it too. Once we get out of here...[Not "if" but "when". They need to keep moving like that or they'll just give into despair]

I'd like to see everyone that I can, to make sure they really are okay.

[There are lots of reasons to visit Japan now.

Haru, Miharu, Nanashi...and of course, to visit places where Hani and Justy would like to take him, if they had the chance]

Maybe you're onto something. Maybe the things we hold onto have their own power, and since it's still important to me, I haven't been able to let it go.

[Does she sound superstitious? It isn't as if she really puts much stock into the power of belief, but fewer and fewer things about the world seem explainable. What they want wouldn't be the most ridiculous thing to try and manifest.]

I don't care for goodbyes, so if it doesn't need to be the end of things when we go our separate ways... I'd be happy with that.

[He gets an actual smile from her with that, soft-lined and genuine instead of closed off.]

I think, as long as we want to hold it, it can't disappear from us. Not truly.

[ It's a nice smile. Sinclair can't help but smile back in turn, warmer in turn. Belief was fading fast in this world; they had to hang onto what they had. And their names were the one thing that bound them to themselves.

A future dream, for when they leave. It wont be all that simple, he knows. But the logistics of it weren't important right now. What was most important was this]

I'm glad. [Sinclair is all sincerity and no artifice; and whether that was a good or bad thing depended the situation.] Then, lets make it part of our plans then. For after.
