[It was strange that she felt like talking all of a sudden; especially when it's about herself. April never liked talking about herself, she was... alright, she wasn't okay with keeping stuff bottled in, but she did it anyway.

But now she felt like she really wanted to. So, she turned on the video feed, her expression oddly serious for once.]

... Y'know, even though this place can be pretty boring and quiet, I really like it here to be honest; it's way better than home... Ah, my home is basically one big wasteland with nothing but ruins, not exactly a nice place and it's pretty dangerous, since anything that moves will probably try to kill you. [She frowns a bit as she says that. This felt weird and a part of her wanted to stop before she said too much, but she just couldn't.]

Aha, it's probably stupid of me to want to stay here, huh? And I really shouldn't want to. Back home, I've... got this goal I need to achieve, and a lot of people are counting on me to achieve it and I need to go back... I don't want to go back, but I need to... Ugh, I'm being pretty selfish, but I just... [A sigh.

And she frowns some more as she reaches to rub her forehead, before there's the sound of something falling behind her, prompting a small squeak and her quickly turning around. It seems like one of her many towers of books have fallen over but that's what happens when you have waaaaay too many of them.]

... Whoops.

That's a natural reaction.

...Selfish, yeah. But it makes sense.

[He's almost in a similar boat. :|;;]

[April turns and blinks at the screen for a moment.]

I... guess. [She rubs the back of her neck, her expression uncertain.]

... I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have said any of that, but I just... felt like I wanted talk to somebody.

Speak at your leisure, and I'll listen. [Although he doesn't know completely why he cares so much.]

[Yeah, that confuses April a bit before she nods with a small smile.]

Thanks, Ledah... I'm just... [She frowns again, clearly not used to actually talking about this sort of thing.]

I guess I'm just... tired. I've been fighting and planning and killing for years, and I don't think it will end for a long time. But I have to keep going, since achieving my goal is something I want to do and it's what motivates me, basically. [She kinda slumps in her seat a bit, her frown deepening a bit more.]

[She turns back to the screen, and sighs a bit.]

... Hmm, I guess it does. Though I feel pretty guilty about feeling this way, but I know that I'm gonna push myself to go home either way.

[Devola has something of a knowing look in her eyes when she responds.]

It's nice not having to watch your back all the time, isn't it? One hour a day of it almost seems like a blessing in disguise.

[A bit more mutedly.] I get what you mean, though. I've got things to do back home, but I almost wish I could stay here.

I want to go back home too, but I like this place too! Maybe you can think of it like a long vacation!

A goal like that isn't completely foreign to me. I believe that it's worth the effort.

I don't want to go back home either. I can't without a lot of bad consequences. But it is selfish of me. So I know the feeling.

[There's a small look of surprise on April's face when she looks back at the screen, before she nods with a wry smile.]

Yeah, it's nice not having to be on guard all day.

... Aha, I 'll admit, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

[She straightens up a bit in her seat as she nods.]

Yeah, you're right and I know that it's worth it. If I can achieve it, then... well, it'll pretty much change everything back home. I just have to try to keep going.

[Blink, blink. Before grinning a bit.]

Hehe, that's a good idea. And I haven't been on a vacation before, so I'll have to make the most of it.

Good. Continue to believe in that.

[Endou nodded enthusiastically.]

When you're on vacation, you have to have fun! I'm sure everything will be alright!

Mm, a buncha people seem to be of a mind that treating this like a vacation is a good idea.

[She pauses, her usual grin slowly reappearing as she speaks, sentence ending almost in a sing-song manner] ...Really, considering the "don't want it to end" aspect, that makes so much sense it's almost physically painful~♪

It maybe selfish, but I don't blame you for wanting to stay here after hearing what your home is like.

I think everyone here wouldn't mind staying here to a degree, including me. Then again, I don't really have anything or anyone waiting for me back home since...I'm pretty sure I'm dead back home.

I will... thanks, Ledah, for listening to me. I owe you one. [Even though there was still a lot of other things on her mind, it felt relieving to talk about something.]

... Wait, before you mentioned that a goal like mine isn't foreign to you... Is it alright if I ask what it is?

...I want to serve, and to uphold the will of the gods. However, as I've said, that means a sacrifice. Even without losing my emotions, I still would have had to live only to fulfill my duty.

Grim Angels do not take time off. When they are not on a mission, they are put to sleep.

Tch. Only feel guilty if you're not trying to do the right thing.

[Guilt is for Catholics, in his opinion.]

[Just gonna blink for a moment.]

You... live only to fulfill your duty... [She mumbles that to herself, before rubbing the back of her neck slightly.]

A-aha, then I'm guessing being brought here has been a massive change... [April frowns a bit more, since she's not being good with words right now.]

All of this seems unnecessary. ...And yet, I find myself enjoying myself here, and not certain of how to feel about that.

[A blink, before April grins back.] ... Well, I've never been on vacation before, so I guess I may as well make the most of this.

[His cheerfulness is infectious, since April nods back just as enthusiastically.]

Yeah, you're right! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have fun here, since I've been enjoying myself so far.

Do you really think it's all that selfish, though?
