My wish... I could meet them if it comes true. ( this is the second time her presence has been rejected by a student here, and he should get to the bottom of that now that he thinks about it. ) Or should I ask for one of the cats, which do you think is easiest?

( he stares at the list in her hand while faking like he's thinking about what he wants done. he already knows the answer, so after a few seconds he'll shake his head. he'll add to her idea, though: )

Nope, they're just for variety! If these are put up, someone in the school will think that someone cares for them, and that'll bring them hope in a way... ah, to see what wavering spirits solidify with confidence... that too is a hope.

( it's the truth, but it's also a lie. )
