[ She means that, too. This whole flower bullshit situation doesn't sound very pleasant, and she considers herself super fortunate to have been able to avoid it as long as she has so far. Ann doesn't push Parsee for names, as much as she enjoys girl time and gossip, this isn't the time for that sort of thing, but Parsee mentions Rinoa anyways and it's easy to put two and two together. ]
I met Rinoa-san one time, when I first arrived. She was very sweet and kind, you've got super good taste! And, yeah, you're right! I definitely don't want to lose you guys, either. I know at some point we'll probably all end up having no other choice but to go our separate ways, but... hopefully by that time, we'll have figured out a way to make sure we're all still connected.
[ She hopes so, at least. Everyone has things to do in their own worlds, and the Void has to get bored with them at some point. But it's a nice thought, to think that they could somehow still visit each other maybe. Even if it was just once in a while. ] Well, we're very lucky to know you, I know I am. Ah... they were here for a while, huh? I hope that they're going to be okay.
[ She hopes that wherever they are, home or not, they've found a way to be together, too, since that's what made them happy. ]

[There was the shortest, briefest spike of jealousy. Why did she say that? Did she fancy her? No, no, she knew better. It melted away like a snow cone in summer, sliding off of her gradually and fading away. Ann was with Kaiba and happy. So it was just... a complement? Those were so odd. It took her a while to fully understand when she got one, but she was getting much better now. Smiling a little, she sighed.]
She's... she's wonderful. You're right. I don't know if she'll actually say yes. There's someone she fancies back home. But I did have to be honest with her.
I think yeah. I think we're all a little lucky to be here. As much as I know it was driving Ren insane, this place isn't actually bad.

[ Minus the whole... flower bullshit, but, Parsee likely knows that already. Ann means well, and is genuinely excited for her, enough so that her own worries are momentarily forgotten and she finds herself bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet, clapping. ]
Hmm... that's home, not here~! I can't see why she wouldn't say yes! You're so pretty, and you've got a wonderful personality! I'm so glad for you, and keeping my fingers crossed for you both!
Ah... yeah, I'm not really sure why it bothered Ren as much as it did, honestly. I mean, I sort of do... [ But there's a lot about Ren that she's still trying to figure out. He's one of her very best friends in the entire world, but the last few times they'd gotten together, things had been a little different. More uneasy. ] Mm, anyways... I just hope that they're all safe and happy and things are as normal as possible.

If she's here, and he never comes. We could have a life here, and I don't know that she wants to wait forever. I wouldn't blame her if she didn't want to pine for someone who isn't here all her life. I think that'd be ok for me. As long as I was special to her.
[And if she went back... well... she could... Rinoa would be mad if she went crazy over that. She remembered that.]
I think when he went back, he came back again more at peace. He was from earlier in your tie. Whatever it is you guys refuse to talk about? It wasn't done, but when he came the second time it was figured out. He was pretty sure he was safe and everything was going to be fine last I talked to him.

[ She means that, too. Everyone deserves a shot at happiness, especially here where things can sometimes be boring or bleak or feel more than a little lonely despite being surrounded by other people. ]
He did... he knows things that I don't. Ah, I mean, he experienced things that I haven't yet. He told me... that things are the way they're supposed to be, at least, where he's from. So that's good. I guess Haru and Yoshizawa will have to experience it for themselves.

[Part of her actually felt wrong about that, because where did that leave her feelings for him, and how strong were they? Where did that leave him? And the fact that she was thinking about that... what did it mean about her? She wouldn't have normally thought about it this much.
Was she improving somehow? Improving hurt.]
Ok, that's... yeah, that matches what he said when we talked last. I guess it all worked out in the end. But... I mean, I've tried not to ask but...
The hell was it all about?

[ Parsee has a lot of good questions floating around in her head, but right now, Ann's all about that True Love™ thing and as long as this dude isn't here, she's not seeing a problem. Even if he does show up.... what's that phrase? Oh, right. You snooze, you lose. ]
Ah... well. He was falsely accused of something he didn't do, so he had a criminal record that we were trying to get fixed. We took care of that, but it came at a cost.
[ Akechi had been that cost. And then Maruki came and changed everything like it hadn't happened, apparently. That part... is a little fuzzy. ]
...I'm not even entirely sure about the rest, but he said everything worked itself out. There was a false reality involved, apparently, but he said that we turned things back to the way they were supposed to be. How much did Ren tell you about the stuff we got up to?

I got flashes of images from his memories once, but Ren was always real cagey. But now that you say "False reality" I bet that makes more sense. You guys haven't been entirely sure if this wasn't another false reality, so you don't know 100% who you can trust absolutely, do you?
That... now that we've been here for months, that makes more sense. He had to be convinced that this reality could be trusted to be different from yours. Since you were trying to clean up some reality altering crap, right?
