"You want to protect people. And you risk yourself to fight, to do that. You're not after power, or glory - that's what matters," Mami answers with a conviction that she doesn't quite feel, setting her eyes on Sayaka's and trying to pretend that there isn't an embarrassing tightness of almost desperation in her throat. "If this is my second chance, as you say.. then it's mine, and I'm the only one who can choose how to spend it."

"Please, just.. consider what I say. Alright?"
