Initiative.
| The Conductor - Solf J Kimblee - is dead. You've won. You have three new keys, a philosopher's stone, and twenty-three mysterious potions at your disposal. You've had enough of people leading you around, haven't you? So now it's your turn to take initiative. What will you do now? |

That's what matters most.
A lighthearted snort.] What? Oh no, I'm a Ravenclaw to my core, thank you very much! Mostly people use those if they identify more with one house or another, but there's this really in-depth way of sorting people have figured out, with a primary house and a secondary house.
Your primary is what matters most to you, the way you look at the world. It's your morals, in whatever way they are. As a Slytherin primary, you're driven by ambition, but what matters most is you and what and who you see as yours- not exactly a bad way of looking at things.
The secondary is how you go about things! Gryffindor secondaries are honest and brash and meet their challenges head-on, bold!
...Of course, you prioritize knowledge too, so maybe you could be a Ravenclaw secondary instead. I'm not sure.
[she's doing the thing where she won't shut up again-]
I got into this kind of sorting and can't stop. [Oops.]

I suppose you are mostly Ravenclaw...but I do think you have qualities of all of them. I just said Gryffindor because I think you're courageous, too, but considering how much of a goddamn nerd you are...yeah, Ravenclaw's a perfect fit for you.
But you're also...patient and kind, and loyal to the people you call your friends. So you have Hufflepuff in you, too. ...With a touch of resourcefulness, and self-preservation. Thus, Slytherin, too.
As for myself, yeah, I'm a Slytherin to a T. ...I mean, no way in hell green is my color, but, even so. And smart as I am, I'm probably closer to a Gryffindor than I am to a Ravenclaw. ...And you'd have to be crazy to think I'm a fucking Hufflepuff.
So, yeah. Spot-on.

Well... I guess there is a bit of that in me...but that's kind of the point, isn't it? Everyone has a bit of everything...but it's what you value, what's important to you that determines where you go, in the end.
[A nice emotional conversation capped by Harry Potter, ain't this just like them?]
...Huh. I said I'd never understand you, but... [This feels nice, doesn't it?]

[ She doesn't think there's much more to it than that. ]
And I'm...starting to change the way I think. Just a bit. This place kind of turned me around. ...Doing things the way I was doing them wasn't exactly getting me anywhere, as much as I hate to admit it. I don't know if this is going to get me anywhere, either. But...
It's a second chance. To go along with an earlier metaphor of ours, it's not quite a "reload from an old save" as much as it is that we had a "0 life" the whole time. ...So I want to do things differently, before we game over again.

[Those other Ashleys, those other worlds, the choices she made differently... They're important. But they're not her.]
...I'm glad that you're giving this a try. This...new thing. I bet- you'll get something out of it, Asuka. Something good. I know you will.

[ "Mama, please, I'm begging you, Mama, please don't stop being my mother..." ]
And...we can't let our phantoms define us.
I'm going to become stronger than I ever could have been by myself. ...And you're going to watch me, Ashley.
We're getting happy endings, if I have anything to say about it.

...Somehow. They found a way to survive this. They'll find a way to do that too.]
Exactly. We'll move forward and...and make life better, however we have to. You...and me. Both of us. [There we go. Good job, Asuka.
Congratulations.]

[ "Asuka..."
"Mama..?"
"
Come to Heaven wiYou mustn't die! You must live! You're alive!"... ]
...We'll just have to do it together.
