... It is sad. [she doesn't feel a whole lot about it because she talked to ruby once, but she can respect this.] I don't know if there was ever going to be a situation where we could change everything.
Everyone has some good in them... But striving to be better is growth.
[ Vash doesn't know if he can really say he's a good person, not when he once had galaxy imploding powers and nuked so maybe people out of existence.
But he has made some peace with that. It will take him longer to be completely at peace, for deep-seated issues cannot be resolved in two months for stupid immortals, but he got somewhere. ]
[she knows he's not going to just accept that because she knows he's like way, way too hard on himself about everything ever, but she figures if someone at least tells him once he might remember it.

I hope that she didn't feel alone in her last moments.
[ But there's a blanket of resignation, knowing that in the end maybe she did. That is no one's fault. They can't help those who don't reach back. ]
And that she finds peace.

[ He is not his most cheery, but he can push something. They can't mourn and grieve forever... Eventually, they all need to move on. Go forward.
