[ There's a long silence as Yoshizawa processes the words. Already, there's a lot about him, about his words, that's different - in a good way - to Dr. Maruki. People are "fated" to find him, for starters. There's an agreement of terms - and a price. It really sounds like he isn't just a person listening to the broken wishes of vulnerable school kids and granting them with a single-sighted determination to rid the world of all pain.

After processing his words in silence for a few moments, she answers him with the truth... although if she's honest with herself, hidden within the truth is another question, a test of sorts to feel him out a little further. ]

I apologize for my rudeness in asking. It's just that I have come across a wish granter before. He was so determined to make the world a paradise that he altered reality to grant wishes and take away the pain that people felt.

[ If he knew her just a couple of short years ago, he might have been surprised by her feelings on the subject. Even Senpai and his allies might be surprised to hear her say something like this, having seen her at her weakest. For the longest time, she was willing to run from her pain, to hide from it and let it consume her from the inside out, turning her into someone completely different...

...But that was before. Yoshizawa knows now that that wasn't the right way for her to live. ]
