The difference Chiaki, lies in imagination. You have much to learn when it comes to creative approaches to problem solving.

[She marked another pause.]

I have worked with you, ever since you first appeared in this world. You simply didn't know.

[line_piece]

You've been more obvious about it as time goes on.

[She smiles a bit for the first time.]

Thanks for the Ettin Snake, by the way.

[But then she's back to serious.]

But you've also been working against us. And I haven't been able to figure out why. Do you need the Heroes of Light for your plan to succeed, or do you need us to die?

[melodiesofdeath]

You are very welcome.

[However, her next answer probably wasn't as friendly.]

I need both. One is not exclusive of the other.

[line_piece]

So you need us to accomplish something for you first, and then die when we're no longer convenient? Or are we a sacrifice to bring about a change?

[Still trying to piece this together. And thinking out loud has at least been helping so far, as Kalki seems relatively forthcoming with answers. For Chiaki, this has become a game of finding the right questions.]

[melodiesofdeath]

[She slowly shook her head.]

Words couldn't explain this. You will see it soon.

[line_piece]

So you're going to show us again.

[She didn't reply, Kalki seems done replying for now.]

[line_piece]

...I hope it's worth it. I hope all of this has been worth it.

[Sensing she isn't going to get much more out of Kalki, Chiaki shakes her head. She only has one more thing to say.]

As for me, I'm going to keep looking for a better way. It's only when all the available options seem utterly hopeless that you find a way to create a miracle.

[A small smile, as she turns away.]

Maybe that miracle will even save you.
