Rikku shivered. "I can't ... I don't know if I can wrap my mind around that. You know? Oh. Sorry. Not to be, uh. That sounds weird." She blushed.

And bit her lip. "No, I'm here because you have machina here and you know how it works, and we have nothing and we need to rebuild, so someone had to ..." Her voice trailed off, and she looked away for a few seconds before looking back. "That's ... not really true. I think maybe I'm really here because I'm so tired of being there. Everything's been dead for so long and I'm tired of the Yevonites and all the dying and I couldn't sit there and watch Yunie fade away. I just ... wanted to get away. Is that horrible?"
