[Written/Action to the Million Merrily and Katabami crews]

When my sister and I paired our power together, we could take on any foe. Sometimes we needed help, such as from the Elements of Harmony, but if not for Luna and the bonds we shared, we could not have used them either.

I was separated from my sister for a thousand years, and after only a brief time together again, I have found myself here and apart from her once again. I miss her dearly.

But that doesn't mean I am powerless and infinitely tolerant without her by my side. Some people seem to think otherwise.

Luffy. Can I hope that we will be more cautious in our choice of sailing partners, in the future?

[Celestia is writing all this from a spot on the deck, and her script remains impeccable despite her contained, controlled anger. (Writing with telekinesis helps with that.) She has not been in a good mood since the fire on Eternal Bliss.]

Prevention can only truly occur by bringing all people into harmony and contentment.

Sadly, that is not something I can do here.

[Xun Yu sighs. It's not that she's opposed to Celestia's position, just that she regards it as ultimately doomed to be ineffectual and likely to perpetuate a cycle.]

Good luck.

[She hopes rather than expects to be wrong.]

[Celestia worries the same. But the alternative is to simply let such horrible things happen, and that she cannot abide.]

We will all need the best of it we can get.
