I think that's enough for now, you two.
[Project Unification wasn't the only one to fight the Lost Seekers, obviously. Setsuko met some (alternate universe versions of) old friends during the fight at Sakihama - the Glory Stars are reunited again! And now, they return from mobile suit training, just like old times. But unlike old times, it's not Denzel who is the non-sweaty one...]
"Ahh... can't catch my breath... when's the last time I saw someone move so fast..."
I can't hear you, Lieutenant. Are you asking for another round? Speak louder.
"Sir, no sir!"
"She seems so nice and kind, but talk about a demon woman in a fight. Lt Ohara, where did you learn this kind of tricks?"
Well... you taught me. I mean, the other you. The other Denzel taught me, and so did so many experiences and circumstances, too...

[Somehow, the training she had with Glory Stars put Setsuko in a pensive mood, and now she's pondering things over a sweets-and-drinks celebration.]
The Sphere...
Edel is stopped, Asakim is dead, but the Sphere is still active. I can feel its power even now, feeding on despair.
[That the cake in front of Setsuko tasted mostly like nothing is proof of that. Her taste has yet to return.]
But... we won't just succumb to it, right? I know everyone, I know you won't. Even as the Lady is trying to make this world hers, we'll see this through to the end. We'll come out on the other side, looking forward to a better tomorrow.
And, I will too.

A body part that lies in wait and waits for its power to be used.

[It's less some sleeping power inside of her and more just a growing sense of something being wrong, but yeah. Close enough, right?]
... If only we could make it feed on this Lady's despair instead once she realizes we're not going to go down easily, let alone at all.
Certainly would make things easier for us... and for you too.
[She looks down at the cake for a moment.]

If the Lady even feels this kind of despair in the first place, that is.

As for our own? Well... you're right. I'm not intending on giving up anytime soon. Not after everything we've been through.

Both those alive, and our friends who are no longer here.

[Selena slowly, but resolutely nods her head.]
Especially not for them.
