[This is the first time that Liem has heard this desire of Misa's, and he watches her inquisitively, a little surprised by the revelation. The way she says it — bring them back to life — makes him think that they must have died before her world ended. He wonders how a young woman like Misa came to suffer such a loss. Perhaps that is one of the reasons she wants to see her world replaced with something kinder.

He thinks, briefly, of his own mother, and how often in his younger years he had wished to know her. But she has been dead for a century and more; presumably, she has found her peace in the afterlife. It would be selfish of him to seek her return to life just so he might have the chance to see her, to speak with the woman who named him.

Besides — what if, when she saw what she had birthed, she saw nothing but a monster and a mistake?]

You still believe that it's possible? To make a world that is truly fair, where terrible things don't happen to good people?

[Where families aren't torn apart by events beyond their control? Could such a world even exist?]

I don't know if I can believe that anymore. How could you really guarantee it, and still give people their own free will?
