[The head patting definitely helps and she sighs in something like a dreamy contentment. Even just simple shows of affection and kindness were enough to make her head dizzy.
His question sort of brings her back to reality though and she hesitates] ...No. [She can admit that easily enough. She doesn't want to see the awful state the world is in anymore. But--]
But... I have to do my part too... To help make the world a little better, to bring it back from the sorry state it was in. I-I can't run from that and... A-and even though I want to just-- Stick my head in the sand and i-ignore it and pretend everything fine... I can't do that.
[ Mikan was something else, at least the time they were spending in the booth wasn't as awful or tense as it had been with his own friends. He certainly felt like he had lucked out on this one. ]
I think that makes you stronger than even some of the people I know, I think most people would just take the opportunity to run and better their own situations.
[ That got the utmost respect from him, to see someone so young with such determination to go back and right the wrongs of the past. It was admirable, really. ]
[Ahh, it feels so nice...Between the headpatting and the praise, she's in heaven. It should probably be a bit weirder that it feels so nice, thanks moonlacing shenanigans, but she hardly understands that so it's Fine. She's just going to accept this as it is and not ask questions. It's easier that way.
She does look incredibly embarrassed though and looks away shyly] I-I definitely want to! it'd be so much easier, and this place is so nice, but... But I have all my friends back home still too. Unless they all ended up here, I have to go back for them too!
[The song finally seems to finish though and the door to the booth pops open, startling Mikan a little]
[ The rush of fresh air that came with the open doors was a relief, Germany gesturing for her to get out of the booth first. He could appreciate the fact that she had been some of the most pleasant company he'd gotten to have during one of the booth games. ]
You'll make sure to stay strong, right?
[ Then another pause as he considered his duty to his friend. ]
And if you ever need help with anything, don't hesitate to get in touch with me, okay?
[ He just wanted to take care of this child, bless her. ]

I-I have to go back and keep trying...

Oh! ...Oh, it looks like we can leave now...
