[ Oh, don't like that. ]

... She doesn't. I'm sorry, you must've been worried about her on top of yourself.

I'm... not much of a protector, but she didn't get as injured as I did either.

You don't think you're a protector? Really?

The things I'm best at are destructive.

Personally, I'd love to have someone with your skills in my army to protect my country.

... But I get it. It's not easy for your greatest power to be taking people's lives. [ Shaking his head. ] But I do think you probably protected Koharu as much as anyone could.

Thinking about hiring me...?

[It's a joke, but she sounds exhausted.]

... Thank you, for believing in me. [I'm not sure it's well placed.]

Anytime, Firefly.

[ Gets cozy in his chair. ]

Do you want some peace and quiet to rest now?

I don't need much rest.

... There's a difference between need and want.

Don't you enjoy the feeling of melting into a soft mattress?

It's just a mattress...?

... But it's soft and comfortable and warm.

Doesn't it remind you of a hug?

[Will go silent as she considers this question.

About as rare?]

That's tragic! You should definitely have regular access to a comfortable mattress.

The ones I've been in are fine. It can't be this important.

So it doesn't remind you of a soft hug?

It's just a bed.

... Maybe I've been talking about this too long.

But I do think you should take the time to enjoy life's comforts.

[ Three different lives where two of them have not bothered with this, and one definitely has- it's a confused experience.]

I'll... try.

Feel free to ask me for advice.

[ fluffs her pillow ]

[ Looks at him and waits for advice. ]

... Lay back and close your eyes...

[ Guided meditation time? ]

[ Claude ASMR?! ]

[ HELP YEAH!

He'll just be like back... Take in the sensations... Focus on the breath... ]

... So are you feeling at peace?

... Maybe?

[ It's unfamiliar, so perhaps that's what peace is. ]
