There should be some meaning to my life

[waterfell]

I won't be able to care for Mama when she grows older.

I never had anyone near me growing up. Papa was gone, Mama was busy, and I didn't make friends. When I thought I finally did, it was a lie and they weren't the friends I was looking for. When I finally found the ones who could be, I didn't realize it for a long time. Now that I finally see them, is it too late?

There are a lot of places I haven't seen, things I never experienced.

I wanted to be strong enough to fight with them to the end- as a fellow warrior.

But... somehow it feels good to rest right now.

Doesn't mean they wouldn't know.

Spartans don't speak too much. But we know how we feel by our actions. What makes us happy. What depresses us. What frightens us.

Company speaks more than words sometimes.

[It's why we've been together.]

It wasn't that simple. There were a lot of things happening.

What do you mean?

[Why wouldn't it be? Even fighting by another one's side is a huge gesture.]

No; it's nothing. [Nothing, perhaps, that really matters now unless she can make them hear her voice.

She doesn't have much faith in that.]

More importantly, you still have chances in your own world. You should consider those first.

[It is a conflicting point. The safety of his team, and that of his world.

Even as he knows she is right, he still damns himself for it.]

I will.

[It's just a question of priorities.]

You have an enemy to defeat as well.
