Daisy Mizuno, SPARTAN-023 in the life Halsey assigned to her, Clark in what she had always wanted, Daisy at her core and the arbiter of the many parts of her self, last name or number marking her as a person or as an object, all come to a single conclusion, many thoughts coming to an agreement after all the grief and loss they had suffered from many loved ones. Ones all but forgotten with everything that happened in her life, others from whom their loss inflicted grief she comes to think even now.

In all of those lives, there was the fear that she would not have any of that again.

"I always wanted a life to call my own."

She lifts her head, looking at Saori, still with a forlorn smile.

"These shifts hurt me the most because I thought it was impossible for me to ever get it. A mom, a dad, a home, a family, a loved one. After everything that happened in my world," after seeing the worst sentient beings can do to each other, "I thought it had no solution. That it was something I could only watch from afar, but now..."

Her hands hold Saori's.

"I've realized after so many years, I made that life, Saori. I made something much more beautiful than anything the Malnosso or the cultists had ever put up. For so long I thought impossible, but I just learned thanks to you... to Keimi... to Adell... to Valvalis..."

She tries to smile. She struggles, but does so.

"So please... don't feel sad, Saori. With all we've gone through in Luceti... it is possible to take control of our lives. It is possible to make something more amazing than anything they could offer to us."

Once her time in Luceti ends, and her life comes at an end on the fields of Harvest, she will have been able to tell herself that she got to live.
