We... rarely had any clear enemy. There were people who stood between us and our goals, but we usually faced only the dangers of the Labyrinth itself.

[cyan_maid]

...Hm. Hey...as a hypothetical question. Would you rather be fighting these mysterious people in space, or the stuff in that Labyrinth?

[daughterofthemark]

[She hesitates, but not because she needs to think about the answer.]

...if it were my choice, I would face the Labyrinth again. Our lives were in constant danger, but it was a danger we understood and knew how to face, and one that threatened only those who faced it willingly.

[cyan_maid]

Mm. [Jane nods. It's a good answer. She looks back at the screen, picking out Roxy in the background of another 'scene'.]

...If I had to choose between this or the enemies in the game...I don't know what I'd pick, but, the only good thing about space is that I'm alive in it...and I intend to stay that way. I'm so sick of dying and death.

[daughterofthemark]

As do I. And I intend to ensure the same for everyone else here. There has been far too much death among us already.

[...]

Yet I fear these are only empty words.

[cyan_maid]

...No. I don't think so. Just because you can only hope for something...that doesn't make it empty at all. That makes it full of hope.

[daughterofthemark]

...yes. You speak the truth.

[She's still not sure her personal intentions are meaningful at all, but okay, yeah, it doesn't take much to get Arianna back on the hopefulness ball.]

If nothing else, I can at least promise to keep you alive.

[cyan_maid]

[aH

Arianna...you are too good for this world, too pure. Jane's gonna pull you into a hug.]

Oh, gosh...the same goes for you, alright? I'll do whatever I can to keep you and everyone else alive, too.

welp. they're definitely getting deathrolled together in r5. it's inevitable now.

[daughterofthemark]

[A HUG! Hugs are good. Hugs are reciprocated.]

Between the two of us, the others have nothing to worry about.
