You're trapped in there. I wanted so badly to save you -- but I've been letting you suffer this whole time. Both in that other world, and here. I--- I'm sorry.
[ oh. the pain starts to flood out. the regret and the sorrow. she shoots up to her feet. ]
No... It's not your fault.
I'm the one who kept these secrets from you. You were always trying so hard, and I was too cowardly to even tell you the truth, even though you deserved it more than anyone. By the time I did, it was too late...
I don't know if I'll get another chance to say this, so I'll say it now. I'm... I'm really thankful to have you for a friend. I love you. And no matter what happens, that won't change.

Don't blame yourself. Even if you had tried... the monster would have stopped you. It's not your fault.

[ pressing a hand to reach to her. ]
I should have tried. I was being selfish, and... look where it's gotten me.

We're all selfish. It's not like I want to--- it's not like I can ---

We have proof they exist. That they're okay. And that they've got something up their sleeve.
