[Rin is a mixed bag. She is suicidal, but she won't be taking her life yet. Not as long as Hatsuharu might need her.]

[Having someone need you is a perfectly good reason to stay alive. Amy would know.]

[He nods slightly. He knows what it's like to want to give up because there's no hope that you ever make things right, but it's not true; there's always a chance.]

Even the least likely chance is still possible. In this world in particular, by the nature of it, there are many opportunities one might not otherwise have.

... [Those opportunities. She can't see them yet. Yet.]

I don't give up. [She presses her lips tightly together.] I'm not weak.
