I performed...poorly, last time.

[leaveofabsence]

Is being strong something that is important to you?

[gravitydefier]

[is it? he doesn't know.]

...I don't know. [what should he want? should he want something, anything?] ...but I don't...

[leaveofabsence]

I do not mean this as a discouragement. If you wish to fight him again, that is your choice.

I am just trying to understand why.

His reasoning was very clear. He needed to take the life of an idol in order to fulfill his bargain with the production. Though if he is back here again---

I am now unsure of what that bargain could have been.

[gravitydefier]

...did they break the bargain?

[leaveofabsence]

We'd have to learn what the contract was before we can answer that.

And if he has lost his memories--- then that will be difficult to accomplish indeed.

[gravitydefier]

...I see.

[leaveofabsence]

In the meantime, it seems you have your own feelings to sort out about the matter.

[gravitydefier]

Emotions are...difficult to understand.

[leaveofabsence]

Yes. And no one else can give us answers as to what they mean to each individual.

[gravitydefier]

...I see.

[leaveofabsence]

Would you like to talk about it? You may say anything that comes to mind.

[gravitydefier]

...I don't know. I am not angry at him.

...if I am angry at anyone, it would be myself.

[leaveofabsence]

And why would that be?

[gravitydefier]

This time, my failure only killed me. But what if it hadn't only been me?

[leaveofabsence]

If it had not only been you, perhaps you would have overtaken your opponent.

[gravitydefier]

That...isn't what I meant.

[leaveofabsence]

Then what did you mean?

[gravitydefier]

What if I had failed someone that depended on me?

[leaveofabsence]

The fault of such things does not solely rest on your shoulders even if that were the case.

[gravitydefier]

...it isn't? [startled]

[leaveofabsence]

Do you think you can support the weight of the whole world, Sakura?

[gravitydefier]

...no.

[leaveofabsence]

[ Oh. This is already much easier. ]

Then do not think you must win every battle as long as you walk away alive.

[gravitydefier]

...I am not worried about myself, there.

[is it?]
