[ Hearing that is somewhat of a relief. Ereshkigal may be... well, Ereshkigal, but it's good that in her home world there's someone looking out for her. The girl's clearly gone through a staggering amount of time entirely on her own, that human girl's interference is a long overdue thing.

Kaga nods slowly, her hand dropping from her broach as she looks back up at Ereshkigal. ]

It's a start. Fight for her and you're bound to find your own future too.

[ Kaga hasn't... really found that future herself yet. She very much continues to think of what's to come in terms of how she can best be of use to her sisters and the war effort against the Sirens, but that's fine. She's happy like that. ]

It might not be the one you dreamed of or expected, but it'll be yours and that's what matters.

[ Emotionally compromised as they both may be Kaga can easily tell Eresh is the one hurting the hardest. No confidence, no inner strength, no family... poor thing. Kaga can't help it, she pulls Ereshkigal into a bit closer of a hug, a protective instinct taking root in her. ]

Don't give up before that happens. You deserve to get there just as much as anyone else does.
