Forever wasn't even a thousand years for Genis. It was just as long as the two of them were still alive - as long or as short as that would be. His mind couldn't wrap around any other answer.

But Mithos was already turning that on its head already. Death wasn't going to be the end. His sister was still going to live even after her death. "Forever" might lose its meaning altogether. They'd never die. It was...a little comforting. Not having to fear death or loneliness. (Not the way Mithos had for so long.)

His hand moved to grasp Mithos's, only partially out of solidarity. Raine's Exsphere... It felt like so long ago that he ran out of the room and abandoned her and the rest of his friends. And hearing Mithos's voice grow so gentle, it reminded him of the reality that he was running away from.

He needed Mithos beside him for this. He couldn't do that alone. But he wanted to say goodbye to her one last time before he saw her again...and he needed to face his friends, too.

"...Can we go together? I don't want to leave her there... And I, I should say something to everyone, too."

"Something". That was the most explicit answer he could even give himself now. Rationalize what it means to live forever? Just trying to understand how to go through the next few minutes made his head hurt. But he had Mithos, so he wasn't alone. And Mithos was giving him hope, so...it would be okay.

He slowly pushed himself to his feet, tugging Mithos up with him.
