[It's Lorelei. For those who haven't encountered him yet, he looks remarkably (one could say exactly!!) like an older, adult Asch or Luke. Right now he looks fairly sober.]

It might be easy, with how things have gone recently, to give into despair and believe none of us are ever getting out of this place. I have chosen to believe that we will, and that our recent efforts against one of our captors proves that where there is a will, there is a way.

We simply weren't prepared enough this time.

[He frowns faintly.]

But aside from that. There is very little I can offer anyone here as consolation. We made our effort, and we failed. ... But I can offer this. Should we ever escape this Tower, should we lose these collars and regain the power that belongs to us.. ... I can't save your worlds. I can't repair the loss of life that's happened there.

But I can repair mine.

[There's no sense of bragging here at all.]

If ... we can't find a way to restore all worlds lost, but find a way to escape, then Auldrant will be open to any and all survivors of the Tower. You don't have to take up the offer, I will not force you. There will be those who would prefer to have their native homes or nothing at all. But for those of you who feel otherwise ... I offer what I can. And I can offer my world. It won't be your first homes, but it will be a home, somewhere to return to that won't ask who you are or what you are or even what you did. Everyone deserves a home. Everyone.

We just have to survive long enough to get there. Don't give up.

[Dying sucks. Just plain and simple.]

I can't believe we weren't ready for him. There were so many of us. Our plan should have worked.

Lorelei.

[ Tear's been completely out of the look with everything that happened in the last month, but at the very least, she was awake now and filling herself in on things that have passed. She had yet to know what had happened with Jason. ]

It is kind of you to offer such a haven for those in need, but we'll do what what we can before that time comes.

If my world cannot be revived, then yours shall not be revived either. I can assure you that.

[...This sounds way too good to be true and he looks a lot like the guy he met over a year ago holy crap he's over a year old what.]

There's a catch, right? [Basic Life 101: There is almost always a catch.]

[There's actually quite a wait between when Asch sees this post and when he finally figures out his thoughts enough to reply. A cynical part of him wants to keep saying it won't work, that the death of the world was too great...

But, hell, he doesn't have anything to lose.]

If there's a way I can help, you can count me in.

[And yes, that means he'll actually listen.]

While I sympathize with the frustrations--and truly, I do--am I the only one that thinks outright killing Jason at the first opportunity would have been a terrible idea?

That's really nice of you. I might have to take you up on it, but I don't know exactly what will happen to my home if it survives.

[Probably, humans will die out and she'll be left alive and unable to truly die. But she doesn't know.]

Five months.

We still have five months.

Don't give up hope, not yet.

Your offer is really kind, and I'm so thankful that we can still find a place outside of our own worlds. But...we shouldn't give up hope that our homes can be saved. Not yet. I don't understand why Jason did the nasty things he has...but he can't take our hope from us. We'll find a way.

I haven't given up hope. We'll be stronger than ever before.

*He takes a deep breath.* I don't know that I...no. Never mind. Thank you, for your offer. Are you...you said you can restore your world. How can you do that?

[evokingfool]

I'll keep your offer in mind, if my world cannot be restored.

["If" being the most important keyword there. Minato still maintains hope for his world to return to normal, and his friends to be alive and breathing once again.

Too bad the Jason thing failed. But they tried.]

My, my. Your announcement's made quite a stir, Lorelei.

[There's no sense of bragging there, no, but it does make Arturia curious.]

How are you able to repair yours, if you do not mind answering.
