Hey. I know the network's in a panic because it's looked like the end of the world since Amicus. It will be the end of the world, if we don't do something. But calm down, because we are doing something. There are a lot of people out there who are strong enough to help, and a lot of us are. No matter who we are, we're not going to let this get any worse.

I used to fight because I could. Because I wanted to show off. Because there were people I wanted to impress -- not that I ever managed to make them like me the way I wanted them to. I might still be doing that even now. But... I've made friends who I know care about me, and for someone like me, that's a big deal. Those people are the ones who taught me what my friends back where I lived before were trying to get through my head. Fighting to save people should be done for its own sake. You do this kind of thing to keep everyone safe.

I will keep everyone safe. ...I shouldn't say that. Nobody can be perfect, even if I always thought I could. But I'll do everything I can to protect the rest of you and this world. After all this, we'll rebuild from everything that's happened over the past three years, or however long this has been going on. Because that's what we do.

And by "we" I mean "everyone".

I won't lie about who I am anymore. I'll admit that I've made a few mistakes. That I still hope people have heard of me when I meet them, and that I can't stand it when they haven't. That I have a stupid tendency to be attracted to people who run off into the sunset with annoyingly useful idiots even when I saw them first. That my powers and my strength and the form I spend most of my time in came from getting into magic that common sense says I should have stayed away from, and that everything that makes me a hero was something I just made up after listening to too much Steel Samurai.

But you know what? I can punch the ground and crack it. I can turn rose petals into deadly weapons and move the air around me. Even if it's strength I wasn't born with, it's part of me now. I have friends I care about, I have dreams even if some of them won't ever come true, and I'm going to protect those friends and those dreams with everything I've got. If you're fighting, too, then keep fighting for your own dreams and your own friends and our world. If you're not, if you can't, then keep doing what you can do.

It -- the whole secret heroine thing -- might have been a dumb idea, or at least my friends tell me that it was. But even if it's ridiculous, even if it's just something I made up, it's a part of me. This is what I can do, and I'm going to do it because I want to and because I have to.

Because I'm Mimino Kurumi... because I'm really Milk from Palmier Village...

Because I'm the one and only undefeatable Milky Rose!

Milk...

...you've really grown, haven't you?

You're absolutely right. It's not the end, not as long as we're still alive. And we're out here fighting to keep it that way.

...I'm glad you're here. I want you to know--I'd stand next to you in battle any day. And if there's something you think is worth fighting for, from now on, you can count on my help.

That is, if you want it.

...I was just saying what I thought needed to be said! Even if I'll accept being Milk, the identities I made up for myself are still part of me. I'm not just going to throw them away.

Right. Where there's life, there's hope, right? I think I heard that once.

Ichigo... Stupid. Thanks. I'll help you out whenever you need it, too. We're all going to make it out of this, anyway.

Accepting all of yourself...that's a good way to live.

[Resolute nod.]

'Course we are!

...Yeah. Probably.

After all, we have promises to keep once all this is over! Dreams to fulfill! People to save! Chocolate to eat, even, but that's not important right now!

Yeah! After this is over, nothing's ending. There's still going to be people who need protecting, and we'll definitely be around to do it. Besides, I promised someone a long time ago that I wouldn't die. It got me through worse than this, and like hell am I going to break it now.

You'd better come back alright, in that case. Your fanclub is going to cry if you don't.

[....okay what the shit is she talking about.]

...."fanclub"...?

You always attract a lot of people who really like you for some reason or another. What did you think I meant?

You're right. It doesn't matter what we've done or what mistakes we've made in the past - all that matters is what we can do right here, right now. I don't know what everyone else here is going to do, but I'm going to fight!

We're not the only ones fighting, either, so I don't see any possible way we could lose, anyway.
