A family that has responsibilities, that has put responsibilities on their daughter's shoulders. It sounds like they're a family that holds a high position - a staff, multiple homes, diplomats, galas - and he's certain that isolation was something that rested heavy on her shoulders as well because of it.
Souji's parents are business people, certainly, and not something like dignitaries or even maybe royalty, but he can see the similarities. The functions his parents went to, whether he could go or not. The constant moves. The lonely nights because they were held up with business, with some meeting, with a party they were invited to by the management of the building they were working out of at the time.
Her hesitation speaks enough to him than anything else could, coupled with the way her smile starts to fall at the edges. He knows the look, and the sensation that comes with it, the emotion that causes the floor to drop out from underneath you. It isn't guarded, but it is careful. It's better to protect yourself from the hurt that way, isn't it? ]
We'll be able to go home. They're working as best they can to at least find us an answer. [ He agrees, of course. Souji has a family to go back, to friends, the same as Lux certainly must. But - ]
But you get a chance, now, to explore a world like the ones in the books. Maybe we won't be staying here for long, and maybe we're all going to go back home to different worlds, but it's still... [ mm ] It's a chance you'd never have back home, to be able to choose what you want to do. Choose what you want to learn, to see, and who you want to spend your time with and get to know.
And I think that opportunity can be something that will change your life, all for the better. No matter what challenges we face, or what happens; it's something that will make us better people, and give us friendships that we'll never forget.
