It was a blessing to have her with you in those elevators in the air. To have a teammate who has seen tragedy before, who has lost herself before like you have, but who still gets emotional about it happening again. It hurts that someone else has had to experience something like what you have had to experience. And it's uncanny to see someone else who is as polite and earnestly service-oriented as you are, if not more. But you have such positive feelings about her. It makes you realize more easily how people might feel positively about you, too. Do others see you as such a bright and loving person?
You had a complex about him at first. He was like you, but better and more successful in every way, you thought. More confident, less awkward, younger and prettier than you, on a team that won every time when you were desperate for a single token. It embarrassed you that he had to be the one to tell you that a person like that can be a friend and not a rival. But you haven't stopped being grateful that the friendship happened. He fills a unique space in your life. You hope he understands, even if you must be very vigilant about the boundary between you.
A brilliant talent like hers does not deserve to be dragged down by loneliness or restlessness. In some ways she reminds you of yourself when you were younger, but in other ways she is an unpredictable firecracker whose actions you could never replicate, even if you tried. You're sure she makes a fantastic Champion. You want her to have that again... And you want to at least do the bare minimum of remembering it for her. Whatever your connection was at its deepest, she deserves that much support.
[ There certainly is a melancholy tinge to all of these, aren't there? It's plain to see that the loss of Ingo's memories eats at him more than he would let on.
Assuming Ori will take the one picture remaining and that they have both gone around to collect the various vibes they have missed: ]
[ she hugs him SO TIGHT. We love hugs here in Sphinx, but also they haven't even gotten a chance to catch up on so many things... ]
Right. We'll do our best...!
[ Which reminds her... She'd been so focused on the photos, she hasn't even thought to look out the window! Has the view just been of dark subway tunnels the whole time!? ]

[ He's going to make sur Ori sees this one too, since it's so sweet. Sweet like the both of them!!
But after that, he will check out the picture of Saturn. He hasn't spoken to him much, but Arthur remembers him. ]

He moves onto Hilda next. They've not spoken much since he taught her how to braid her hair. He wonders how she's doing. ]
