[She smiles, nuzzling her face into Lacus' shoulder. She can hear, from the beating of her heart, from the intensity of her breath, that she means it. And she can feel the grief. Hear it.
Nona's had a while to process death. She's been dying for half her life, after-all. But she thinks she can remember what it felt like when she realized she was living on borrowed time.]
...My friends love the person who this body belongs to. They love the person who my eyes belong to.
It's not fair for me to take them away.
But I do wish I could spend more time with you. And Crea, and The Lord of The Flies, and Xiao. And everyone else. And I wish I could see my... family... again.
[ Weighing love against love is an impossible task. The body's owner is loved, but so is Nona - for Lacus, who's only ever met Nona, it's unthinkable to say that Nona is worth less than this other person just because she came second. Nona is Nona, and she has a bright smile and an optimistic attitude and Lacus loves her earnestness.
It's not fair to take Nona away either.
But that lament won't make her feel any better. ]
We'll carry you with us. Long after you're gone, I'm going to look at dresses and imagine you wearing them. I'm going to carry you in my heart to show you all the sights I love and I'll introduce you to all my friends. I'll tell you about them until they can feel you like you're right there.
Some of my time will become your time. I'm sure it's the same for Crea and Beel and Xiao - there's a bit of Nona that will never leave us.
