[ Having logged off the network with a heavy heart, Haru takes a seat next to Noé when she sees him. ]

Noé...I heard about Uta. I'm sorry.

[murrmoire]

No...I'm sorry, Noir.

[ Something about seeing Noir specifically makes him tremble. He knows why. ]

I didn't live up to our mission. ... I failed.

[ He says this as if the guild's ever been uppity about that, as if Noir would chide him for this. In his mind, though, he'd deserve it. ]

[ Oh Noé... Haru shakes her head. ]

That's not true. You freed Uta from Corbenik. You did what you could for her, and for everyone, even when it was unimaginably hard on you.

[murrmoire]

[ Everyone keeps saying that, and he's stopped doubting the validity of it, because he knows they're right. Still, her death still hurts, and he wishes he could go back in time and change something. Anything that would've contributed to it.

Noé lifts his head and looks at her, eyes red and puffy. ]

Thank you. We...we did what we could for her. But...it won't ever feel like I did enough.

[rebelles]

From the news, we knew there was a possibility it was too late even though we wished otherwise.

[ Hien had said hope was a double-edged sword, and this was how the blade fell. Still, she doesn't believe it was wrong to hope. ]

You fought hard to save her and were there for her as a friend. I'm sure your feelings reached her and gave her comfort. You being there made a difference.

[murrmoire]

[ He nods. Honestly, hearing Noir talk like this gives him some hope. ]

Thanks, Noir. I...I hear what you're saying. It's hard to believe, but I...I appreciate it. I hope we really could do that for her, in the end.

[ They owed that much to Unna. ]
