Tyzias is quiet for a long moment, reflecting on Richard's words. That had been her philosophy for a long, long time. Long enough for it to become engraved into her soul. He was right, giving up now, even when Tyzias was literally worlds away from her goal, even when she'd actually died for her cause, was wrong. Even faltering for a moment made Tyzias feel disgusted with herself.

Without looking at Richard, she smiles. "You knowwww, I really could've used a friend like you back on Alternia. Sommmmebody else wwwwho's enough of a wretched, stubborn asshole to push mmmme forwwwward." There's that headache again, but it fades against the background noise of the massive migraine Tyzias already has. "Guess wwwwe're gonna have to fight on this battlefield for nowwww, though. For great justice or sommmme other anime bullshit."
