Selphie frowned thoughtfully upon hearing Ramaa's words. There wasn't much that anyone could do to absolve the Empress of the suffering that she'd inflicted upon everyone present, but perhaps that was some sort of salve that could be put upon the current wounds? Even though she was hurting from Adrien's last counter attack, Selphie made her way toward the Empress and crouched in front of her.

She reached for Ramaa's hand with her own first. "Back on Crystallis, I had to face myself and I learned that it's not good to bury things. A lot of bad things could have happened and there's probably still a lot that are gonna happen. Even with the sorrow and the pain, it's important to remember the good times as well."

Even through her own pain, Selphie looked Ramaa square in the face and gave her a warm smile. "I asked you before why the sacrifices of the previous heroes meant so little and you said that none of it had mattered. That shocked me to the core but I've had a lot of time to think about what I meant when I said that you were wrong."

She let Ramaa's hands go and pointed back to the heroes present to show the Empress what she meant. "It might be hard to accept, but some of us really want what's best for Vaikuntha and that includes you. So please believe in us."
