If anyone ever wanted to get a hold of me...

I'm gonna be honest with you, kid. If you're looking for that Glass Half Full shpiel, you're barking up the wrong tree. There's crap in the world. There's always gonna be crap in the world, and you and me are gonna have the same ending- sad and bloody. That's just the way it is, it's just a fact.

[Well. This is off to an inspiring start.]

But we don't stay strong for ourselves, Chihiro. We don't fight for ourselves. We fight for everybody else- because the one thing that we can do with this crappy little life we get is to try and help people have something better than the hand we've been dealt. And I want you to know I'm gonna do everything I can to keep you from going back to that shitty ending you came from, but in the meantime... Just because something's gonna end sad doesn't mean you should make it sad while you've got the opportunity to make it happy. I'm sorry your friend left, but you gotta use that to appreciate the ones you've still got here.

And above all- you can't give up, Chi. You just can't.

I, I... I...

[ Well, here come the waterworks. ]

I'm so sorry... I sh-shouldn't be so selfish... I, I just... I... I feel like... anything I do to help... it's j-just going to get undone... or forgotten, and...

I... I know I'm probably not going to make it... b-but... I want... I want my being here to have meant something...

[Oh dear god not the waterworks- no no this is why he's not the people person dear god where is Sam how does he handle this.]

Chi- Chi, no, come on, it's not- it ain't-

Look, you being here means something to me, okay? And everything you've done, it does matter. We're gonna get it back up and running, but we've still got all those transmissions saved from before, right?

...Y-yeah... they're still saved... but I don't think the m-mirrors know any more about this place than we do...

...And aside from breaking into the mirror network... I don't know how else I can help.

You're right, they probably don't. But they do know a thing or two about that bitch queen, and it's damn useful to have a link over there in case some of us get stuck there again.

Honestly, sweetheart, apart from that? You're doing about as much as the rest of us are- that is to say jack squat. All we can really manage to do is bide our time here until opportunity strikes. It sucks, but that's just the way it is.
