... Ah.

[ her head starts smoking. ]

No. I narrowed it down to just a few possibilities, but I haven't approached them yet.

[i'm sorry that she cannot help being just a tiny bit yandere]

...You haven't approached them, hmm? I suppose that means you're uncertain of them.

[sootprints]

No, that's not really what I'm worried about...

I'm just afraid of putting someone else at risk.

[undread]

But you need the wish, don't you?

[hmm...]

I don't think you'll put them at risk. The only real risk is if your partner is executed.

[and she doesn't think they would execute kate, even if she was a monster.]

[sootprints]

That's still a risk. And what if they didn't find someone else fast enough...?

I still want the wish, but... I need to be sure that my partner is prepared for that danger.

Have you considered that your partner might need their wish as well?

[sootprints]

[ ...

she's quiet at that. ]

...I trust your judgment, Kate. If you don't feel it's right, then you ought to be cautious.

[sootprints]

... No, it was a good point. I wasn't giving enough thought to other people's feelings.

I think we all must take care of ourselves here first and foremost... but if your only hesitation is the fear you're being selfish, then I suppose I think you are risking taking the decision from them.

[sootprints]

Yes... I don't want to do that. They might want to wish for something important enough that the risk means little to them.

Although, if that is the case, they should really take some initiative in seeking me out, too.

True, true. If they haven't put any effort in, you can't be faulted for doubting their commitment.
