Thirty-Second Hope [video]

[The feed comes on to show Hope with his pet joey Kai curled up in his lap, one hand absently scratching the little guy behind the ear. He's trying to appear casual and relaxed, but it's hard to ignore the solemn look in his eyes.]Um... hey. I kind of have a question. I kind of lost track of how many parks and gardens this ship has, and there seems

I am sure such a question does not bother anyone, nor would the placement of gravestone.

I don't think so either Nia, I just want to make sure. I don't want to risk anyone taking it down after I build it.

Re: [ video ]

[growflowers]

I cannot imagine anyone would be so disrespectful as to take it down.

I hate saying this Nia, but there's a lot of stupid people out there. It's not likely, but it's not impossible either.

How unfortunate. I had not realized...

Re: [ video ]

[good_breakfast]

It's okay Nia. I'm used to.... stuff like that.

[he almost said 'worse', but he decides to stop himself. He doesn't want to worry his friend or worse, have her asking him to clarify what he means.]

B-besides. I don't mind asking someone. It's no big deal. One of my friends already gave me permission to use her private garden.

That is unfortunate in itself...

Still, it is good that you have found a place. A private garden might be nicer than a public one.

[good_breakfast]

Yeah. I'm glad I'll finally be able to do this. I've been waiting too long.

... Do you miss her?

Re: [ video ]

[good_breakfast]

[His gaze lowers and his expression sombers. He loves his mother, and he isn't mad at Nia for asking that question, but he's still sad talking about this.]

Every day.

I am sorry to hear that. I have learned... That it is difficult to move on after losing people.

Re: [ video ]

[good_breakfast]

It is. It took me a while, but... I think I'm ready to move on. I still love my mom, and I'm never gonna stop thinking of her, but I know she'd want me to be happy. That's why I want to build this thing. So I have some place to go to... talk to her. Does that sound too weird?

Re: [ video ]

[growflowers]

Not at all! It is important to move on, but I think it is fine to send your thoughts to her! [ Nia's diary is addressed to Kamina, after all. ]

....Thanks Nia. It really helps to hear someone else say it.
