While Maya might not have meant anything profound about it, those words strike a chord with her. Her expression falters a little, brow creasing that much more, her averting away and softening with quiet, wizened melancholy. Noticeably, too. The moment she stops acting like everyone's fairy, when she's reminded that this is her new opportunity, the first in a very long time, to be with people and talk to them, and that after this, she won't have it again....
It stings. She promised herself when she decided to come here that she'd enjoy it to the very last second, and cherish all the memories for years to come. It plucks at a heartstring to be encouraged to do so by Maya, even if she knows it'll be bittersweet, and she'll feel lonelier than before when this is done. Her other hand comes up to clasp at Maya's hands around her own, still managing to smile. ]
Thanks for saying that, sweetheart. Like all dreams, this one will end... but I'll remember every moment.
[ Maya trails off, something both knowing and a little sorrowful stealing into her eyes. It's maybe a little uncharacteristic for both of them, the capricious one looking troubled and the cheerful one looking sad.
But sometimes... it's warranted. It's allowed. ]
Sometimes, you're the only one who remembers the dream. But I don't think that makes it any less important, that you lived it. If anything, I feel like that makes every moment more poignant.

Hee hee. Such an earnest answer... be careful, my heart might flutter.
[ She adds an extra helping of teasing with a cherry on top, then stops pressing on the gas for now. But her time will come again later. ]
I'm glad too.... [ She trails off, then more quietly, she admits: ] I don't want this to end yet.

[ And she reaches out to clasp Yingying's hand in both of hers. ]
So I think it's totally understandable for you to enjoy every last moment and live as freely as you want. There's nothing wrong with that!
