9S gives her a gentle smile. "You and me... we're different people from when we first met. Everything we've gone through with the Carnival changed us."
His wide-eyed optimism, his joy at being able to live among humans... all crushed by the knowledge 2B brought back with her. Rita had always been there for him, but she had changed, too. She still tries to hide it, but he gets the impression she's softened up around the others, not just him.
"Even if you're everything you want to be now, it won't stay that way. Something will happen and we'll both change because of it."
Knowing the Carnival, their path ahead will be fraught with even more danger. They might even lose someone one day.
"But the point is we're here for each other." He squeezes her hand. "Pain, joy, we'll share them together."
