[ There's so much that Fio wants to ask. There has to be a reason why he's being so difficult. Is he like Levania? Is he like "Her"? Sadly, she's beginning to understand that all her questions are likely to be brushed off. Her concerned look shifts into something a little more stern, which is something she shows rarely. ]

I don't know what an Ultimate Lifeform is. I don't know if what you say is true... that... you'll just come back. Even if you do, I think... you should try to treat the life you have now with care.

[ Fio speaks slowly, finding it difficult to put every thought into words. She knows that she feels worried and sad for Shadow. ]

...We gotta get you some points.

[ Fio stands up. ]

I wanna participate! [ A small hand shoots up into the air. Her voice is naturally small and soft, almost hard to hear, as she tries to call out. The spotlight continues to soar across the crowd and while it might not easily land on their seating, there has to be plenty of cameras around that at least one should be focused on her.

Dropping her hand, she points at the hedgehog in the seat over. ] And I want Darkie to join with me!
