"......"
The woman slowly took off her opaque helmet. "...Haha. So am I", she said, smiling... as Henrietta recognized the much too familiar face, and long - but styled in a bun at the moment - purple hair... of Sakura Matou, a childhood friend of hers who had passed away years ago! She was a few years older, but Henrietta was utterly convinced, this was her. Right?

"Sakura? You're alive?" Henrietta asked tearing up. "I... I thought your Grandfather killed you."

She smiled faintly.
"I wish I could say yes. But... I am not the same Sakura you remember. The one from your universe did, indeed, die as you remember it. I have her memories, as I have those of any of my other past selves, but I am a different version of her from another universe", she said apologetically.
"In many ways, from your viewpoint, I imagine that may be close enough. I just wish to be honest with you. I am, in many ways, similar to her. Potentially indistinguishable to you compared to another person whom you simply have not seen in a long while, but I am essentially a different person than the Sakura you knew despite said similarities."

"I see." She said sighing and leaning back.

"Yeah... I know. Lots to process at once", she said, nodding. "That dream... getting those powers. My cryptic message, meeting me on the moon, learning about the Starborn and the Unity, and now this. Most of us have years to get used to half of this. For you, it's all happening at once. Sorry about that. I wish I could slow things down for you, but... I guess this is just how things are", she said.
"...How's your brother? Still at each other's throats?" she asked, smiling.

"Tim?" Henrietta asked. "He's in the Vatican studying to be a Priest. He always favored God more than learning the ways of magic or science." She said. "Or are you talking about.... Oh him.... We're.... Not speaking right now." She said.

"Oh?" she let out, surprised. "...I am... sorry to hear that. I always thought..." she began, only to interrupt herself. "...No, nevermind."

"He's such a hypocrite!" She burst out. "He thinks he can go and screw any woman he wants, but if I even look at another person he has the nerve to get-" She trailed off. "Nevermind."

Sakura just smiled. "As jealous as his womanizing makes you?" she suggested with a somewhat playful tone. "I know I said I wasn't the same Sakura you remember... but, hey. She always thought you two would get married once you'd get older."

"It's not like I wasn't interested... still... Maybe." She admitted.

"Hey, I'm just saying. Who's to say you won't find someone else during your adventures who'll be everything you ever hoped for", she said with a bit of a giggle not unlike Henrietta's childhood friends would sometimes have on the best of her days. "Or maybe it'll work out with him. Or maybe you'll be happy alone. Who's to say."

"Perhaps." She sighed shivering a bit from the cold ship floor under her feet.

She paused, raising an eyebrow. "...Is my ship too cold? I can increase the heat if you want."

"No it's fine... I should have just grabbed some shoes before I came here." She admitted having changed to her casual green dress, and white jacket.
