her words are touching, if not generous—and the sentiment is easily returned to her. robin too knows what loss is like, and yet she is so unwavering in her kindness, even in a place like this. willing to extend her care to a stranger she's only just met.
her warmth has the same clarity as her voice—it's comforting. ]
Thank you, Robin. That's kind of you to say. My strength isn't mine alone—I share it with my friends.

Your friends are blessed to have you, but... if you wish.
[ her life is written and reported in so many interviews back home. she has long accepted that much of her past will be known. ]
When asked, I've often described my life like a song. It starts off solemn before it comes brighter. My hometown was destroyed when I was young, and that was when I lost my mother. My brother and I were adopted by the Family, who are prominent figures in the Planet of Dreams I told you about. That's where I was raised and educated... and that's how and where I received my start as a singer.
[ her past being well-known doesn't make it any less tragic, and aqua's expression softens as she listens. she returns the gentle squeeze that robin had given her earlier. ]
...I wish it weren't such a sad song. I'm sorry to hear that.
[ robin had mentioned her brother was all the family she had left, but now she understands even more clearly exactly what that means. how she no longer has that home to return to, how she was whisked off to an entirely different life that she had no part in choosing. ]
Did you wish to become a singer? This Family... what are they like?
[ prominent figures, yes, but are they kind to robin? to her brother? ]
