[Rei takes a deep breath before shaking her head slightly.]
Even if that's the fate of every person in this city that's doomed to die when they go home, you can't spend your time thinking of it that way.
[Her tone remains quiet, soft, almost a whisper, but there's a certain sense of conviction to it.]
This city, for as much as it's a hell, is a reprieve. It's a chance to be someone -- to change your path from what it was in your world. I've seen people take a look at what their lives were and change everything to become better people, and even if that work is fruitless when they go home, they have their lives here. For a week, or a month, or a year, or three -- that's worth something, even if this universe collapses tomorrow.
[And suddenly, Rei sets her jaw, gritting her teeth.]
And I wouldn't be so certain of not getting out of here, because I won't let this place collapse without preserving everything I can. Not without a fight.
