[ after the events of the day, vira decides that maybe living in their room forever is not such a bad idea, actually? but the base isn't so big that they can all avoid each other forever, especially not their roommates.
and besides, she can't help but greet prim as she returns. the polite nod quickly turns into something else, though. (from 2:08 to 6:45 i'm sorry it's long cries in visual novel style games)
at least a relatively innocent one, though a little embarrassing—vira shrugs sheepishly. ]
And Primrose hums, a tad softly. It's not a question she ever expected from Vira, but because Vira does ask it, she can't help but respond truthfully. ]
[ and she does mean it, even if the feeling leaves her conflicted. all the same, her expression turns stern. ]
Still, you are resilient, talented, and kind. I'll not hear you deny yourself anything.
[ it doesn't matter what she's done—vira doesn't know her past, and does not care. she thinks only of the times that primrose has been there to soothe her, a quiet and steady presence. whether it's revenge or love that she seeks, she should have it. ]

Yes. I have.
no subject
That doesn't surprise me. You seem like someone who has learned through love.
[ The sort of steady compassion she shows here does not come from a cold heart, Vira thinks. ]
What did you think of it?
no subject
[ Oh. ]
I'm afraid I may not be the best person to ask about it, Vira.

no subject
But... while I don't know your situation, I also hope you'll be able to experience a love you won't regret.

But she also knows Vira will argue, regardless of how much she knows, and so she sighs. ]
I believe the truly kind one is you, Vira.
