[What an awful thing to have in common, honestly.]
You can't tell me their names?
For me... Reiko Amano died when she was twelve. Her cantus just wasn't strong enough. Shun Aonuma was the boy I loved since childhood. He was a genius... the adults mourned that he'd died, because they expected him to be an amazing leader. Maria Akizuki was my girlfriend, and my best friend growing up. Mamoru Itou... he didn't grow up with us, but he was really attached to Maria all the time. When even a coward like him was scared enough to try to tough it out in the forests alone, Maria couldn't help but go with him to keep him safe.
[Mamoru Itou, the same name that's on her dislikes. Her voice is soft as she talks about her friends, but it gets a smidge judgmental when she talks about him.]
...Growing up after all of them left, All I could think of was how much I missed them. Or... how much I wanted to remember him, in Shun's case. But besides that, even though I stayed away from the Board of Education, I just took my place in the same society that kept killing us.
[She had her reasons, of course she did, but... Thinking back to her fantasies of being brought in as the new head of the Ethics Committee simply for being there, it's almost embarrassing. She was just interested in power, despite doing nothing to earn the position. If nothing else, the Foundation taught her of the hard choices that needed to be made when it came to other peoples' lives.]
I'm not really that great of a person, myself. In the end, I'm just a selfish person who wants to keep the people I hold closest alive. That way I don't have to suffer through losing anyone again.
[She's rambling by now, but it's been a long week, and as hard as she'd tried, she'd lost a little brother anyway. Maybe she's cursed when it comes to siblings--

They always seem to die.]
