[ Hope is what drove Joonghyuk to suffer all those regressions and hope will sustain him longer, perhaps forever. It's difficult to measure how important Dokja's answer is to him. It's not exactly what he wishes to hear, but it's enough. It's cruel of Dokja to say enough.
Joonghyuk thinks back to his speech at the industrial complex as they were transitioning to the final scenario... It was given to the masses, but he had wished it to reach the ears of his companions. He promised not to throw away his life, so they shouldn't throw theirs. Did that reach Dokja? He wishes to ask him. If he were to repeat it, would Dokja listen to him now? How many times must they repeat to him in many different words and ways—live. If not for himself, then for them... Because they love him.
These thoughts run in his head as he continues to rest against him, holding him close like he didn't point a sword at him earlier. The sprite seems pleased by all of this, if not teary-eyed at this scene. ]
... This isn't the same, but we did get to live in a big house.
[ Trying to... Transition to normalcy despite how heavy the questions and emotions unsaid and unexplained are. Unfortunately, there are things Joonghyuk will keep inside forever. ]
