From the white lights, the darkness comes...

Today's trial was a mixture of regret, anger, guilt, and second-thoughts. Perhaps some people realized that situations and choices weren't to be black or white. However, decisions were made, and whether it'd be through people keeping secrets or causing a ton of chaos...everyone could probably agree on one thing:

They've made their choices and no matter what happened in the coming days, they will lie in the beds they made for themselves. Whatever that should mean for each and every single person still living here.

That being said, there's still new choices to make. In the days to come, what will those be?

I know. Still, people need to be prepared for the possibility. Finding out only when the time comes is the worst case, scenario after all.

Still, as someone who is likely to join them soon, I will say this now, while I still can: Step over our dead bodies. If it becomes necessary to destroy us to save everyone else, do not hesitate. Sometimes that is the only option.

If I see a chance... take it?

That is a difficult question to answer. An opportunity may only come once, but sometimes there only appears to be an opportunity and taking it will simply lead into a trap.

Do not take things at face value, but do not let an opportunity slip away... Is a rather demanding request, is it not?

In the end, it all comes down to ichigo ichie.

Ichigo ichie?

It is a saying in tea ceremonies. It has a variety of meanings, but the core message is as follows: Every moment is a miracle that can never be repeated. At the same time, every moment is a chance to create a miracle that can never be repeated.

If one can understand the miracles that led us to this moment, one can create a miracle that can only be achieved at this moment.

I see... I like that. I've seen miracles like that before.

If I can find one, I won't let it escape!

Then, that is enough. Speaking as a magical girl, it important to always keep searching for that miracle, and grasp it when the time comes. It will come, that I am certain of. As long as we keep searching for that miracle, it will come.
