It feels like you'll disappear when the war is over...

Like that time when you gave me the ring... Admiral, why aren't you ever concerned about yourself?

I see...

You already know that I was picked up from hell's door when I was in the Army, right?

...Yes, you told me that, Admiral.

Inazuma and Suzuya... no, what I'm gonna say now, you're the first to hear it.

What do you think is the first reason I returned to the battlefield after all that?

That's... I believe it was a request from the Admiral Inazuma was in care of, and for us fleet girls...

That's right, but they're not the prime reason.
