"It was because of me?" Lila murmured.
"Yes."
Lila seemed confused, so Yori continued.
"Something along the lines, a lot was happening at the time after all. I won't say that it was an easy decision. Back then I had already resolved myself never to have anything to do with you and the others anymore. Though the entire time I wanted to see you all so badly. For yours and everyone else safety, I was willing to sacrifice a lot. However, once I saw how passionate you were, and how hard you were fighting despite all the hate around her. I felt that there would be a greater meaning behind us meeting again."
"A greater meaning," Lila repeated.
That's the reason she appeared before them last year. Yori noticed the changes in her friend in the three years they were apart. Lila was no longer hesitant; she was looking forward to seeing what kind of songs her friend would sing.
