[ Their process in finding Giyuu almost ended in failure. That's something that weighs heavily on her even now. They all carry a certain amount of guilt to different degrees, but the only way to go is forward. ]
It's odd that we are the outlier in having some kind of mastermind. [ It kills her a little to say mastermind because her view of Giyuu is that he's somewhat (a lot) of an airheaded idiot. ] Even though we are, we don't know what we'll have to face yet. For now, every option is possible. I won't stop until we can leave.
[ She smiles. Just like the bonfire that somehow isn't diminishing in the rain, her determination will continue to burn. ]
I know you won't either. We can be better than before. [ Her voice becomes softer. ] We can always be better.
[ Their illustrious "mastermind." He seems so... hapless here, sometimes, it really is hard to think of him that way.
But that isn't enough to just hope that the threat is past them. He nods. ]
We'll end things differently.
[ If they had just seen the truth a little bit sooner. If they could manage it now. ]
I am still getting my bearings here, but even after tomorrow, I don't intend to rest idly. The nature of this 'game' has changed on us... And as you say, anything is possible. The sooner we discover the truth, the sooner we can tear down its foundation.

[ That's her conviction.
It's not something she knows they can do with certainty with what little they know, but it's the goal. ]
