[At the elevator, Cooro hesitates. He’s committed to this decision, but something doesn’t sit right in his stomach as he makes the final moves to leave.

He stays paused, listening to the impassioned speeches of the other Dreamers. Those who don’t want to give up on Amane. That don’t want to roll over and accept that his situation is in salvageable, willing to fight for the chance that something can be done…

Doesn’t he want that too?

Hand hovering over the button, Cooro makes a decision.]

Amane…

[He turns around, fists clenched.]

I know you want us to leave, but I…

[He marches up.]

I don’t want to!

[It comes out, and a dam breaks.]

I want to share snacks with you again! I want to go on more adventures! I want more snowball fights! I want to spend more time with you!

[Cooro’s on the verge of yelling - loud, so Amane has to hear it.]

So that’s why I’m staying! We’re going to help you, whether you want us to or not!
