"Yes, some of the heroes have but the people of Crystallis are looking to us. It's a little silly to say but I have more of a reason to smile because of it. I want to prepare for the worst but I will always hope for the best and try with all my might. I will keep smiling and be that hope for the people of this world who put their faith in us. I won't let them down."
