[ The opposite of Hiyori, really, who has always thought of the world of as it could be and strived to see that reality. He chuckle. ]
Of course. I wouldn't ask you to share if I wasn't willing to myself.

[ she pauses to mull it over, and his question does rouse something in her:
an image of a midnight garden comes to mind, pale flowers parting under the light of the moon. ]
If it was just a space for myself, then I’d want it to look like my selenia garden.
If it was to hold people hostage until I needed them, then … I would probably make a prison.
Although it doesn’t matter what it is, if they go on excursions anyway.
[ hot is hot, and cold is cold.
despite her comment about the captain, tear wasn’t awfully creative herself. ]
What about you?

[ It's simple, but the straightfoward honesty the charm of it. However it's dressed up, once a person cuts to the core of an idea they're all equally simple wants and desires. He likewise takes a moment to consider his own answer before offering it, ]
... I wish for a world free of disease, one in which all sicknesses are cured; a world in which love lost can be returned and even the dead can be revived. I've dedicated my life to seeing that ideal become a reality.
[ It's simple and common, but he can see that world in his mind clearly. Humans have the potential to imagine those they adore unchanging on a screen, their first love from the moment they first met, the friend that they could talk to untiringly... Loss is as much of a disease as loneliness.
He wants to be safe. He wants to be able to breathe. He's never known either. ]
Who I want to be today, "asu naro" tomorrow I will be.... That was my company's slogan. I want to create that world, and I wish to see every piece of it once I've done so.
[ So, if he were to create something like this - ]
If I had to scale it down, I would want to at least take a slice of the world. The bustle of cities and the tranquility of forests and plains; a place full of life... I believe I should like to have the world's largest flower garden as well.
[ But, well, he was raised to be that kind of visionary. ]

especially when she'd just talked about making something so morbid a prison.
normally someone would call her cold for it, or tell her she was being too serious...
but to call her comment beautiful definitely stands out to her.
there's something in his words that lights a spark in her eyes, a stirring in her heart --
his wish was is painfully familiar, and for a moment, her mask of stoicism drops:
suddenly, she remembers a conversation she'd overheard at sunset, warm words exchanged between two nobles.
they, too, had wished for a perfect world for their kingdom and had strived for it.
it was very much in line with luke's desire to change, too: to make up for his sins by providing peace to the world.
the creation of a space between replica and humans, a place free of war and strife.
theirs was an optimism that felt infectious, and it doesn't fail to soften her, ever so slightly. ]
Yes ... I don't think I agree with a revival of the dead, but I understand why you would want those other things.
A few friends of mine have tried to do the same.
[ she won't tell him that it's foolish, or unrealistic -- that it's a childish dream.
she's sure that he's aware of it already, not that it should stop anyone from trying, even tear herself. ]
What did your company do, exactly?
no subject
He's always, always thinking of what world it is he wishes for. He finds himself curious of who else might have chsed that goal, but supposes it to be a bit personal to ask of a stranger. He focuses on her question instead, ]
It's a difficult sell in practice. [ There's the ethical debates, but there's also a lack of sight and focus on profit; that's what makes ASUNARO special. ] The company is quite extensive, but it's most known for specializing in medicine and technology. ASUNARO is a company that seeks to heal the world, from your physical wounds to the scars left on your heart... We've made quite a bit of progress on both fronts, and I believe that soon we'll be able to cure disabilities such as paralysis, and even erase people's trauma.
[ Well, that's a rather simplified way of putting it, but that's the long and short of it. He was thrown away by them in the end, but he still has quite a bit of pride in his workplace and his contributions. ]
