[ And of course she continues to share that same desire to stay with everyone. There's nowhere else for her. Even living on the ship with how things currently are is far better than where she came from... ]

You're the smartest and the bravest, Duggy. [ In this little girl's eyes! ] I'm sure you'll find something.

[ Spoken with certainty, despite not having a clue either. She's trying to be optimistic. ]

And I'm sure there's lots of people that'd help you!

[It's high praise no matter who it comes from, but doubly so coming from Fio. It adds to the already overwhelming pressure to succeed, but it also encourages him to push forward, come what may.

And she's right, after all. He does have help. Lots of it, if they'll be willing to hear him out...]

You're not wrong, there. Ava, Jade, Darcy... There are more helpful people aboard than I could list. All of them are at least as smart and brave as I am. And you've helped me, too. Thinking about you keeps me focused.

I'm glad I've been helpful. [ Yet, she still wishes there was more that she can do. Someday, she wants to be able to protect others and him. ] Thinking about you keeps me doing my best!
