No--[Her response is quick with denial, a hidden note of pain.] That'd... be too hard anyway. And it'll be much more painful if it's not a clean break. I--Rose Lalonde. My best friend. If she'd come with me we'd be wrecking ourselves about each other as badly as you and America or Lithuania and Poland, basically... She's the only person who'll really miss me or suffer at all that I'm gone, I'm part of a very small group few other members of which are all that concerned about me anymore... Everything about her. Critter can tell what's the most acute and yet most sensible thing to give up - compare Sayaka and Poland.

I'd love to tell you about her anyway - she's amazing and there are quite a few associated stories - but the biggest favor you could do is keep me from realizing that I've lost memories at all, since... missing something is much worse than never having had it. I'll probably try to sacrifice again not knowing that I already have, so - keep the line going with Bruce and Ema and everybody.
