Yes. I’m nineteen now, but I’ve spent one year away from my world, so all the new memories were made outside of home. Yet... Hearing you say that and thinking back on everything—I think I understand what you mean.
[Even if Kairi was unsure, it seems to help Nyuu in the end! Her smile remains sad, but it’s more of a joyful sorrow, like tears of joy. There’s no such tears in her eyes, but they do shine with a gentle realization, like a sun just visible enough through a thin layer of clouds.]
I learned many new things during that year away from home, including how to cope with Lucy. Even before all that, I changed a lot back home, too. I may not be able to remember the days when I could only say “nyuu,” but I’m not that same girl from that time. I can speak properly now. So, you’re right. I have changed in some ways. And [her whole expression brightens, breaking through the clouds] I’m still here. I’m still Nyuu, just a bit more knowledgeable than the girl I was a year ago.
