What she and Kazuma have here is entirely singular and precious and it’s just as special as what Eustace and Tifa have, or what she and Diluc and Thoma have (or had, in the latter’s case). It’s special because it’s here, in this realm of dreams. It’s not a race. No one relationship is more important.
