Good point. I don't know about being human either, but...well, I think it's a good point anyway. And that's the important part to me.

[ It's something to be happy about at least. ]

Let's see... Even if I did give them a chance to change, I'd bet it'd be lip service for a few weeks while they try to break their word. I know how they work. I lived with them for years before I got out. How couldn't I tell? I couldn't love them then, and they couldn't love "me" then and now. They never saw me as a fellow human.

So I guess the only thing really holding me back now is wanting Yuuki's answer. I think I said that before at least. I've been thinking about it even more, and that's not fair to her and me.

[ She stops for a moment, looking at a sky so different from all the ones she's seen before. ]

...Yeah, I'm putting too much on her. But I can apologize by razing the colony that forced her out to save her friend. I don't need to be human to do that. In fact, I shouldn't be. I'll have to be the villain. Which is fine.

[ And she turns to look at him, probably the most at peace she's felt in ages. ]

The world doesn't really need superheroes anyway. Right?
