she's afraid of getting too greedy with the wish. each time she lets herself think about it she gets further and further down 'but what if an even bigger wish, what if even more things' and then has to shave them down again. ]
[ hilda has always gotten everything in life she's ever wanted—a wish doesn't carry much weight with her. but is it really so dangerous to want things? she smiles, kicking her legs a bit. ]
Yeah, it's a big opportunity.
But from what I've seen—it certainly wouldn't be wasted on you.
Oh, I don't know. I bet someone will trade me something good for it? Or to end the war back home, but I don't think that'll be that easy. So maybe I'll ask that this entire place transforms into a lavish castle that we can come visit whenever we need a break from reality...

I want to get stronger, and braver, and better able to control my powers. But those kinds of things. . . if you only do them with powers, then you'll never be able to grow as a person.
I think. . . I think I should think really carefully about this. A lot of people might need a wish, and I could help them. But I also don't want to make a mistake again, and let it be used in a way I don't agree with.

Aren't we supposed to get a wish!?

[ she's still ??? that that really worked ]
So who knows! It'd be nice, for all the effort we went through.

[ she's just very conflicted. anyway, she shakes her head. this should all be much more upbeat than she is making it. ]
Do you know what you'll wish for?

That sounds nice. Like a little... Escape away from home for us?
no subject
Yep, something like that. I figure everyone here works so hard that having some excuse to take a break would be nice. [ escapism! ]

... If I make a wish, I'll be more selfish with mine than that.

[That's right. At the beginning, he was thinking about how little he could think of to wish for.]
. . . I was going to wish to save the people who died, but I guess we don't need that after all.

Now you have a wish you can use on yourself! Hopefully.
no subject
[Hmm.]
Most of the things I want are things that wouldn't be any good if you just got them by wishing.

Why don't you ask for something more material, then? I was thinking of making this whole place a spa we could come visit each other at whenever.
