It is a difficult thing.

[Not knowing why they're the one left? Not wanting something to be true, even though it seems quite plausible? Matsui doesn't seem inclined to expand any further on the simple statement, watching for another few moments after they've spoken.]

If you don't want it to be true, do you find yourself leaning toward what the Meridians believe, then?
