[ Ice skitters down her spine. It feels like she's come face to face with her worst nightmare - the kind of fear that drove her to the Dreamer Union in the first place, that's nipped at her heels in all the intervening years since. The idea that this beautiful world, so full of lovely and awful things, could end up hurting the ones she cares about the most and she would be powerless to stop it.

But it's not just here, is it? The things that hurt Amane aren't anything that Dreamer Ai-Doll can fight or fix.

... but it's just like she'd told Zeke. She's never just Dreamer Ai-Doll. ]

... Mm. Sorry, but... you should know by now what my answer's going to be.

[ She pulls "Tsukasa"'s hands away from her face and steps back and away from him at last. Her gaze drags up from the Night Terror in front of her to the boy she's really here to save. ]

I want that as well. I want to take you back home where you're safe. I want to see you playing around with your friends again and getting into trouble. I want to see what sort of adult you'll grow up to be.

[ She stretches out a hand, palm turned up. Even with the distance between them, her eyes unerringly meet his. ]

Let's go home together, Amane-kun.
