Who is the person most important to you?

[ A deceptively simple question. Serah's happy to have her sister here, but more and more, she finds herself missing a certain someone else.

Edited a bit later: ]

Or people.

Well, I can't choose. So it's both my teacher and my best friends!

[Text]

[failnought]

Then I wouldn't make you choose. It's a hard thing to do, right?

Your teacher, huh? Mine is one of the most important people to me, too.

[Text]

[babel_hacker]

It is. All of them are very important to me, so picking one wouldn't be fair.

Oh, really? What kind of teacher are they?

[Text]

[failnought]

I would hate to make you pick just one, then! I know that feeling.

She's stern. More so than anyone I've ever met. She expects a lot from me, but she knows so much and I know it's only natural she would. But as stern as she is, she knows how to be soft, too. Around certain people, anyway--not to everyone.

Your teacher sounds like a great person!

My teacher is more harsh and hard, but he knows how to give me difficult challenges. Even if he's hard to get along, he's a good person and means well.

I bet she'd love to hear that. You know her: It's Lightning.

Those are the best kinds of teachers. The ones that push you to be the best you can be, but who really have a good heart.

[babel_hacker]

Whoa, yeah. I know her, alright! Your description does fit her.

That's right. If they're not around, we wouldn't get this far without their lessons and discipline.

[Text]

[failnought]

Well, I'd hope so! I'm kinda the best little sister she's ever had.

Yeah. That's the mark of a good teacher--if students take their lessons to heart, they've definitely made an impact.

[babel_hacker]

Maybe even the best one she ever have?

If we don't take their lessons to heart, it'd feel like we fail each other. So I don't want to disappoint Naoya in that part.

[Text]

[failnought]

Pretty much! I like the way you think.

Exactly! Disappointing someone important? It's one of the worst feelings.

[Text]

[babel_hacker]

Especially when they're so important to you and can possibly see you fail.

[Text]

[failnought]

Tell me about it. That disapproving stare? So much worse than yelling.

[Text]

[babel_hacker]

They don't even have to yell. They can just start talking and you can hear the disappointment.
