[She smiles a little.]

He was probably just worried about me... I'm sure I looked really distraught after everything that happened.

Um, you don't need to worry, though! The other you didn't do anything bad. I mean, even if he did, it wouldn't matter, because it was all just a bad dream in the first place...

[She thinks about it...]

In the excursions I went on, and in the nightmare I saw, it was always the same... Somehow, I'd end up hurting someone I cared about.

Maybe your face was one that was fresh in my mind? Because of the painting...

Right...

It's harder to see it in the moment, when it all feels so real...

... but I think I'm okay now. It helps, being able to see that everyone's safe.

For the most part, yes. There are a few people I still hope to catch before it's time to go...

... oh, and before I forget. [She'll take out the rolled-up painting. It looks like she tried to smooth out some of the creases over the time she had it. She holds it out to offer it.]

Here. Lucretia wanted you to have it, right?

Yes! I can't thank you enough for letting me hold onto it for all this time... It meant so much to me, to be able to see Rita's face at any time... and my new friends, too!

[Wrong Molly, but like, close enough.]

You should try to take better care of it, though... Don't fold it again!

So that's why... but... How much are you fighting, anyway?

[Looking kind of concerned at him... especially at the missing arm.]

I suppose I can understand that... My world is similarly hazardous.

But will you be able to continue fighting as usual, with just one arm...?
