"He said that, huh?" Riou said, looking up at the ceiling, as much to himself as to Rose. After a moment, he looked back down at the ground, and sighed. "First, I think that I should explain that he was talking about himself just as much as anyone else. Not just about his own past and how he views it, but also how he may just view the future as well, if I am right."
He looks back at Rose. "But I don't think he was trying to depress you or anything. More like he was trying to give you advice. It may have come off wrong, but that was unintentional. As for what kind of future you can have. I'd say you can have whatever kind you want to have. Perhaps form a band, a one girl band, even, and travel the world?" He said with a smile.
