It's.... yeah. It's more than we were ever going to get, I just...

[ she does genuinely seem to manage a fuller smile then. ]

I should thank you... for giving me the chance to do this. To try and do something.

[becomemod]

And I should thank you for stepping up to do it. Thank you, Jolyne, for always trying to save everyone that you could.

I'd do it again if I really had to, Izuminokami... it sucked in a lot of ways.

[ god ]

But I don't think that matters anymore. This feels good. We needed to end this with a win before the big fight ahead.

[becomemod]

I wish that I could have made it better for you... but you're right. A win is a win, especially in the eleventh hour. It's already helped morale.

It's gonna be a good start to the week.

We're gonna get them back. All of them. I want this dorm full again, at least one last time before we have to say goodbye...

[becomemod]

Sounds like it will be, come Tuesday. I'm glad - it's far too quiet around here now. And you all deserve some time together before the end, whatever that will be.

[floridas]

We do.

[ a softer smile ]

You've been a pretty amazing leader, y'know. I don't follow people all that easily... but you made it kinda effortless.

[ maybe that's because the phoenixes are also, in some aspect, all very self-sufficient. izumi picked 'em good. ]

[ ...he seems both surprised and not, somehow, hearing that. ] I did learn from the best. But you know, part of being a leader means knowing when to step back and let you all come to me, instead of demanding you follow everything I say. You handle yourselves well already.
