[In a way, what she is told is a small relief. She had feared the absolute worst, her mind had convinced her it had to be something like someone close to one or both of them being severely injured. In a way it was true, but at least no one was missing any limbs.
She does not interrupt even once, listening with a carefully controlled patient look on her face. She takes a moment to process it all before speaking. ]
First off, let me offer an apology of my own. While I could not have known what was going to happen, the fact that I was unable to help in even the slightest does not make me happy. What it means to be a Dreamer has changed for me over the last few months, and I very much wish I had been here to help you, to help the both of you.
You needn't tell me the details of what you went through. I was already wholly unconcerned with Lisa-san bringing someone she cares about here, and knowing the reason for it make it all the better.
[She offers Junna the warmest smile she can muster.]
I already said I was not angry, but let me make it perfectly clear. As long as Lisa-san is staying with me, you'll be a welcome guest. I did not invite her to share my home in order to isolate her from those she cares about.
[She glances over at Lisa.]
If anything, the coincidental meeting we had at college may have helped prevent me from getting so lost in my own negativity that the same thing happened to me. As I mentioned, I am also a Dreamer, but it was not until after what happened to Hibiki that I become an official member of the Union.
[Finally, she turns back to Junna.]
As for OUR meeting, it was during the battle against that massive monster that attacked the Slumbering City. We hardly had time to chat, of course, but I remember you. You would not be able to recognize me, though. I am rather....well, different in the Dream Sphere. So much so I'm basically a different person. Sometimes I worry I might be developing an entire second personality I am so different.
