[ Oh. Even knowing Estelle came from a world with magic and everything, that was still a lot more than he expected. He didn't know she'd ever been involved in violent battles like that... or that her world had talking monsters like that one.
...He guesses he gets so caught up in his own stuff that he's never really made a big effort to learn about anyone else's worlds. ]
S-sorry.
[ For accidentally seeing that... ]
Is... is this what you were talking about before...? One of those things you think you should have done differently?
I mean... you were trying to rescue her when she got hurt really bad, right? A-and with everything that was going on there too, I don't... think taking your time was really an option...
[ He's still kind of reeling from how chaotic that all was. ]
...What happened, though? That was your healing magic, right? Was she like... allergic to it?
Right! So... I get why you feel bad and keep thinking about it and everything, and I'm... pretty sure I would too... but... I don't think you need to feel guilty about it. You know? You were being brave and trying to help!
I don't think you need to forget, just... well. Don't hate yourself for it, I guess?
[ he says while still hating himself over bucky... though he feels like that's more justified self-hatred since if he'd been braver than he is he would have acted differently. ]
...Sorry, I'm probably the last person here who should be saying any of this.
When I stand in the same places my friends have been before, I feel like maybe they can give me some of their strength... I know it's a superstitious sort of way to think, but... [She just finishes that thought with a self-conscious smile.]
He's been stealing all my cases lately and it's really annoying... But, um, I-I think what you just said about your friends giving you their strength is nice...!

If I hadn't been so hasty, then... maybe she'd still be alive.

My power could heal humans, but to her and others like her, it's a poison. I just made things worse...

You, uh... you were wanting to look around the school, right?
no subject
I'd been wanting to see this place. I've never really been to school, and besides, a friend of mine was here before!

There's only one person I know from home who's been in one of these, but it was that space thing Lup and everyone were in, so I haven't seen it yet.
