[ Well, now you've done it, Crane. You just had to talk about the bonds of friendship, didn't you? Ruka's left hand leaves her pocket, moving to clutch her right arm — as if assuring herself that something is there. ]

My friends... they cherish the bonds between people more than anything else. So, even if the friends I make here go back to their home worlds some day, or if I leave, too... I know that they would keep those feelings alive no matter where they go.

[ Her right hand moves, and curls into a fist against her chest — but, still, her left hand does not leave her right arm. How curious. ]

So... it doesn't matter, if the marks of friendship fade, or we're separated and unable to see each other again. I'll always keep the bonds that are important to my friends, and treasure those people in my heart.
