[After talking it over with Takeru and allowing herself some time to think on the matter...Hikari's mind was finally made up.]

[But first, there was one thing she needed to do.]

I've decided...to go home.  Even if just for a little while.  

[She seemed apologetic, knowing there would be aspects of her life in Genessia that would have to be put on hold in order to do this.  Her volunteer time at the school.   Working.   Her photography schedule.   But she was also happy by the decision.  Content.]

I don't know how long exactly it will take, but I'll get to see my big brother again.  And our friends.  I can make sure they're all right.  Then...I can come back.  And be satisfied.

I won't be going to the Dream Docks until tomorrow, though, so that I can be certain my obligations are taken care of.  I wrote them all down to be sure, but...if there's anything I might have forgotten, please let me know so I can make it right

...Masaru?  

I was wondering if I could ask you something.  When you have the time.
