[ She's right. She really should try and experience those things right now, rather than staying secluded at home. Why, even as a Servant back in the waking world, she can experience those things to a limited extent. It will end someday, as will her stay in this world of dreams... But it's more than she could have ever hoped for, more than she should have ever had! So why does it feel so... So insufficient?

I plan to. There is a lot I would like to experience before returning to the Underworld.
