[He's quiet for a good long moment after that confession of hers, hand idly playing with the handle of his spoon. It's not exactly surprising-- Shinsha had told him a while back about their own admiration for Crimson when they were younger, after all-- but now he's really wondering if he said too much. It's not like he has fond feelings to spare when Crimson was involved, but it did feel a bit cruel to shatter Junna's personal vision of her, too.]

[That was largely for personal reasons!!]
Whatever is going on with her now doesn't take away all the good she's done with RAY and the DU in the past, either. There's nothing wrong with admiring who she was, but... if you're expecting the same woman to be there in the Dream Sphere, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
[He reaches over the table (albeit a bit awkwardly) to give her what he hopes is a comforting headpat. No one ever likes to find out that their heroes were flawed, and especially not to such a disastrous degree such as this one.]
... sorry. This probably wasn't what you wanted to hear, huh?
