He had my thoughts and feelings... even if he was more rash and impulsive. Temperamental. [ He shakes his head. ] I don't blame you all for thinking he was me.

If I hadn't crashlanded on Earth, you all would still be living normal human lives.
Him yelling at Lance, letting Keith run off like that, and running off to help Lotor... it should have been so obvious he wasn't you. There was so many signs.
[She huffs at that.]
We would have found a way into space. Anything to find my family, and Keith would have gone, too, to find you.
After everything you went through? You didn't give up on yourself, or us, even once. That just means you're really strong, Shiro. Who wouldn't be proud of that?

[She still doesn't want them to fight. Her parents should be protected. She's hoping Matt is doing so in her stead.

I'll be okay... but will you be?

You have a point. Neither of you are very good at giving up.
[ Gently, he ruffles her hair. ]
I'm really proud of all of you, you know.
no subject
She huffs softly at the ruffle, fixing her hair.]
We're proud of you too, you know.
no subject
Really, now.

I couldn't give up. I never wanted to. Not with you all working so hard and sacrificing so much.

[ He hugs her again. ]
We'll always be a team.
