Belief... Belief was the source of magic all along, Chariot. With Diana and Akko fighting to save everyone, their belief in magic was restored. And with it, Yggdrasil grew again!
[ She's smiling. Seeing that. Knowing what she can tell her. ]
...I always thought that magic was beyond comprehension. But seeing those two... Maybe it was my own blindness that didn't allow me to see it. But... They did it. They defeated my monster and restored magic to the world.
[ Come here. She's going to hug you. ]
...The Claiomh Solais... It was never meant to be wielded alone.
Phasansheer Shearylla. "Connect with other people and your dreams will grow." ...I was a fool back then. We both had things we needed to learn. ...I guess it's better late than never, huh?
[ She might feel a little wistful. ]
...They both used the Shiny Arc to destroy my beast. Hand in hand, together.
... But Croix... I'm not suffering because of you. I mean--obviously I must not be, not anymore. It all sounds like it's fine. Right now, I'm only suffering because of what's happening here.
More than anything... if you hadn't done all of that, I might never have inspired so many people the way I did. My shows might never have been so grand. Sure, I hurt a lot of people, too, but... belief means a lot, too, right...?
[ She wrings her hands. ]
Yes, I was hurt by it. And... I don't know if I'll ever be entirely the same person as I was before all of that. But people change. These things... happen. No one stays the same. And I've grown and learn from my mistakes. It's time you did, too. You can't... go on blaming yourself.
... So let those people be the ones to constantly remind you of how much you did wrong. Not you, not me, the people who forgive you, and should forgive yourself.

[ She looks... confused. But contemplative. She accepts the hug, though. ]
Croix... then, that means, you weren't not chosen, you were... probably meant to help me...

...I'm sorry. I remember... Saying I'd return to Luna Nova only after I'd found a way to break Wagandea's curse.

Besides, I stole Akko's ability to fly... it's really only fair, isn't it? Ha ha ha...

[ It's your sacred duty! ]
I can't just forgive myself like that. I'll be carrying these mistakes for the rest of my life, Chariot.
[ And witches live a long, long time. ]
...No one's going to let me forget what I've done.
