[There's a bit of concern on Raidou's face, but he nods in understanding.]

After everything recently... It's hard to picture anything good.

[Especially looking at the carnage nearby to where they're currently sitting, and how much work they have left to do. Raidou looks at it all with a heavy heart.]

But that makes it all the more important to try, right?

[He pauses, thinking.]

In the wintertime, at the shrine near the base, you can go ice skating on a pond near there. They rent out skates and everything. It had been the first time I'd done it in years, and it felt great. Like I'd never stopped. I got to take several friends to it too. I can't wait for the weather to get cold again.

[He wipes some sweat from his brow and eyes.]

Especially after being here for so long.
