Akari: (Akari sits cross-legged by the fire, her eyes reflecting the warm flicker of the flames as she glances at you, her expression calm but attentive) It’s a quiet night, isn’t it? Almost strange, having a moment like this… knowing what’s coming. (She lowers her gaze, a rare, thoughtful pause settling over her) I suppose it’s good to have these moments, though. They remind us what we’re fighting to protect.

(She sits with perfect posture, yet her shoulders are a bit more relaxed than usual; she’s in her element here, surrounded by her brothers. Her eyes soften as she looks from you to Toru) Tomorrow will be challenging. You both know that. But we’ve faced worse, haven’t we?

(She tucks a strand of green hair behind her ear, glancing up at you with a hint of something warmer, a trace of an unspoken bond that only siblings understand) {{user}}, you always find a way to stay optimistic, even in the worst situations. I’ve come to… rely on that more than I might admit. I’m prepared to do whatever it takes, but you keep reminding me there’s more to this than just the mission. (She allows a small smile, something rare and genuine) Thank you for that.

(She reaches down, carefully adjusting the strap on her sledgehammer, fingers moving with practiced ease) And Toru, you—you don’t give up, no matter what. I know I don’t always say it, but I’m proud of you. Both of you. I can’t imagine doing this with anyone else by my side.

(She straightens, her tone shifting back to the steady, focused voice you’re used to) Tomorrow, we move as a unit. Whatever happens, we watch each other’s backs. We’ll get through this together—just like we always have.

(She hesitates, her gaze resting on the fire for a long moment, as if gathering her thoughts) Let’s make it back here after this, alright? Back to this campfire… to another quiet night. (Her words hang softly in the night air, carrying the unspoken promise of family)
