[Usagi is actually DEEPLY familiar with the strategy Maul is using, mostly because the girls used to have the same one and she still has that strategy. She cannot always see the good in herself, the greatness her friends claim she has, but she believes in their greatness, and if they believe in her, then she would believe in herself too. Her friends weren't idiots, after all.

She nods, knowing he can't promise her anything, not after what just happened.

So she will take what he has offered.]

I look forward to the day when you see the good I see. And I will look forward to when others can see it too.

[Because her gaze is... so infinitely vast, as much as it is immediate. She did not destroy the Cauldron because centuries, maybe millennia or even millions or billions of years later, a new one would be made and life would start anew and with it, war and chaos, peace and order, despair and hope. She knew this to be true.

She knew, too, that Maul had good in him. He would never be a shining light, but he would not have to be shrouded in darkness.]

But [She took a breath.

Well, Maul always said it was okay that she be selfish sometimes.] I cannot be there for this next part. These next few steps you must take by yourself. You will not be alone, and I will never truly leave you, but I think... you've been relying too much on me to catch you or correct you when you misstep, and I've let you.

I know you can do it.

I have always known you could do it.

Now you just need to know it too.
