Enoshima's at fault for the whole thing. If you're not gonna blame me for what happened, it ain't fair to blame yourself, y'know? But I know how tough that is to actually believe. I mean, shit, I can't pin the blame solely on Enoshima and be done with it and I doubt you could either.
But it'll be okay. We're here now! We have each other and nothing like that's ever gonna happen again. We'll bring the rest of our classmates here - except her and her sister - and things'll be okay. We'll work through it all and maybe someday we really will accept that this shit's Enoshima's fault and we won't have to keep blaming ourselves, y'know?
