[ Ena tentatively watches the expressions cross Monika's face, and her own expression lights up with hope when she starts to see recognition in her reaction. Oh, she was so close to being successful! ]

It's okay. [ She speaks again with conviction. ] Because you can always find happiness on Vaikuntha, too. [ For a moment her mind starts to wander, wondering what that might be for her... No, concentrate. ]

I... [ Ahem. Ena clears her throat. She felt incredibly awkward saying this, but she knew Monika now would be happy to hear it, and she felt it crucial in breaking her out of the memory. ] I will still be with you when we get back to Vaikuntha. Both of us are still real, even if the scenery around us isn't. You don't have to worry about that. [ She gives her a moment, making sure she's not pressuring her. ] Okay?

...

[ And lo, the memory vanished instantly as Monika finally came to accept none of it was real. It never had been, regardless of whether they were talking about the memory they had been in or what had occurred back then. But it didn't hurt any less regardless.

How... How had she nearly done it again? She had nearly trapped Ena in a dream forever. Would it have been possible? No matter the answer, she had tried anyway. And horrible as it was, she felt the most sorrowful she had ever been knowing it wouldn't come to pass. She truly was an horrible person who could only hurt others, wasn't she? ]

I... [She looked away, unable to make eye contact with Ena.] I'm so sorry.

[ Repressing tears, Monika would most likely try to avoid Ena and go back to a different airship. She... Wouldn't be able to bear with the guilt and sorrow she felt for a very, very long time. ]
