"I..." she breaks the sentence, falls silent, looks ahead again. "... thank you, Kitsuki-san. I.... I never quite had the spirit to ... but .... I should".

The broken, strangled words barely make up a proper sentence. Still... they might convey a lot.

"... I wonder if there's something obvious we could do from here..."

The we does suggest help is accepted - and appreciated. The 'how' woud still have to be figured out, though.

"Hopefully I can help." Ichitaiyo replied with a smile of her own, taking up the binoculars to scan the islands once again. "I just warn, truth might be strange. It might be unsatisfying. Or it might not give you closure."

"Because unlike fiction, it doesn't have to make sense."

She nods, slowly, tentatively, quietly.

"Closure...", is all she says at first, more than a minute after the Dragon's words.

Do I want closure? ...Is that what I've been avoiding

She shakes her head, in silence.

"Kitsuki-san, I... I will try to... see what was left behind", she finally says. Then, looking at her again, she adds: "...I... would be glad for some help, Kitsuki-san.... Since you are offering. If it won't impose, of course..."

She nod-bows, even while sitting, then looks at their path again. They'd now be almost ready to turn back - unless Ichitayo wanted to fly by another specific place. She would gladly offer another stop, and show her around - even more so now.
