Maybe...
I spoke to Mithrun. He says his name is Macha, now. I just...worry that the same will happen to her, too.
I guess her siding with Lily is ultimately her own choice, but losing herself in the process...is that really worth it?

Mithrun...

[ He was always a little odd but that sounds concerning. ]

If it happens to her too, we'll just bring her back.
There's no telling if it's her own choice.
She might feel... indebted. I don't know.
I shouldn't be making assumptions here, but...

[ Trying to make it make sense is tough. ]

Have you heard any of her songs?

We will. I know we can.

And...I think I have.
I can't remember the specifics, but I'm certain that I've heard her sing before.
Which one are you thinking of?

[ Time to out himself as Uta fan... ]

This one.

Ah, truly, what a wonderful world
And so, once again today, my own unsightliness confuses me
And yes, this feeling of wanting to be loved by another
Is what makes me suffer

Ugly, honestly, my face is as if
God drew it with his left hand
Inevitably, all the love songs this world has to offer
Certainly not a single one is written for me

Kisses I can't use, pity cast upon me
Protecting my body is a scar of spangles
Enough to make me unlovable

Dazzlingly, I shine and swallow the dark of the night
Rap-tap-tap-tap
Now, watch this love
1mg of fireworks sting my eyes
Drag on, drag on
How funny, this world is bizarre
Gira, giragira, gira

Even to the Buddha in his enlightenment I remain unknown
It seems like I've surely gone insane
Is it the world at fault, or is it me?
Co-existing was impossible from the start

How sad would I be if I were just an imitation, so I just ran with all I had
Before the heavy acid rain washes it away
I hold my fluorescent scar dearly

Blazing, I am a wolf of the night, spewing fire
Rap-tap-tap-tap
Stay there and watch this dance
Be strong, with your own unique makeup
Flap up, flap up
Suddenly, anxiety strikes

Loneliness is my gasoline, as I run through this abject town
Close your eyes. Are you ready? Are you ready?
If God was left-handed, I can't imagine how happy I would be

Dazzlingly, I shine and swallow the dark of the night
Rap-tap-tap-tap
Now, watch this love
1mg of fireworks sting my eyes
Drag on, drag on
How funny, this world is bizarre

Gira, giragira, gira
Give love, the flowers will bloom (giragira)

I can't stay the way I am, no one can
What a wonderful world!
I will shine on

[ Punisher?? Hardcore! Memoir is in awe!!! ]

You remembered all of that?
Uta would be so proud.
I'm so impressed! What a beautiful set of lyrics!!!

Don't tell her.
It makes me look like a creep.
I just like her songs.

[ A normal amount. So does his little sister. ]

The world we're trying to go back to...
I wouldn't call it beautiful, but it's not ugly either.
It's our world.
I can't believe she'd want to give it up.

[ what a simp ]

I see, I see! I won't say anything, but still! You're a great fan.

I can't, either, but it sounds like she's been through a lot. We'll just have to remind her that we'll be here for her, no matter what.

Do you consider her a friend, too?

I only remember fragments of other songs...
I guess that's to be expected if our memories were tampered with.

[ No need to dig your grave deeper, simp ]

Yeah... I do.
Even if she doesn't consider me to be her friend.

Why wouldn't she?
You seem like you'd be a great friend to her.

Don't tell me that you consider me a friend, too.

[ There's not enough tsun in this conversation!!! ]

Of course I do! What kind of question is that?

You need better friends.

[ Raise your standards, Noé. ]

Do you not want to be my friend? :(

I don't even know you outside of the game.

[ In other words... yes, Noé is friend-shaped. ]

Oh...I see.
I must have misunderstood.

Well, I'm sorry. I assumed we were friends.

So, instead, I'll ask nicely.

Please be my friend, Punisher!

[ Punisher can't help but go back to their first meeting during which he was wondering if he should be afraid of this guy. It seems that the answer is yes because he's 100% immune to tsundere. ]

Joonghyuk.

[ That's it, that's all he's getting. ]
