A lot has happened in half of one.

[That's how long he's been here, almost to the day - even with everything that's happened, he could almost be called happy right now. The irony of the note they were all given upon arriving to the Tower isn't lost on him.

Let's all be happy here.

There's no way that Ruana's idea of happiness is the same as theirs. In the end, the same as Van, she was willfully blind to what people wanted, ignorant of how much people were willing to throw away to survive. When it came down to things like that, it was where people's true natures were revealed.

Look for something that is still true.

That truth, and that freedom to choose - that was what he had sworn himself to today.]

It'll be the ending we fought for, either way.

That's for sure...

[She's a month shy of a full half-year, but it still feels like so many things have happened since she arrived. Some of them wonderful, some of them terrible, but all of them significant in some way. When she tries to imagine where her life would have been if she'd never been brought here, if Weyard had never been destroyed and if she'd gone on to return to Lalivero from Mars Lighthouse, it's almost impossible.

Before, during her journey, it had been difficult - but she'd been able to do it, had practically been able to see herself walking back into the town and taking up the life she would have lived if she'd never been kidnapped away to Tolbi. Now, though, she can't. After everything that's happened, it seems too dull, too mundane.

Maybe it's not because she's unlucky that she's been brought here, she thinks. Maybe it's because she has something to offer, just like all of the people here have something to offer. The Tower, the world it's in, there are so many mysteries surrounding them both. And if anything's been proven in the last few days, it's that the people who are trapped here are willing to do what they must to unravel them.

They have a goal now, and a deadline to accomplish it by. Even if the thought of it is daunting, at least there's an end in sight. And even if they fail... they can at least say they tried, and that they went down fighting, and that they made the best of the borrowed time they've been living on ever since their worlds were destroyed.

Better to damn yourself trying than to perish without having tried at all, Sheba thinks.]

...hey, Asch... even if we do manage to find a way out of here... even if we can return to our own worlds... It should be possible to find some way to communicate between them, right? ...because if we could both appear here, it's almost like they're connected somehow, and the Tower is the center point. [So even if their worlds are restored and they are forced to go home, it's not like the end would really be the end. They wouldn't have to say goodbye forever... she hopes, anyway.]
