Actually, we've been contacting the main planet for a while by allocating most of our plants into stabilizing a signal. After a hundred years, we received a response back... And their fleet ships arrived early!
I didn't get to see if they'll be boarding everyone, but it's pretty promising, don't you think?
[Ah... that's right. Kaveh's face falls at the reminder that they're ALL FUCKING DEAD, but he pushes it away, unwilling to dwell on it.]
Leaving your home isn't easy, even if it's for a better place. [Especially when it's not so much a choice as a necessity.] Would you have wanted to go?
[He wants, so badly, to be able to make promises. To be the sort of person who could tell Vash that it'll be alright, that he'll make sure Vash and the others make it out. It kills him that he can't, but he's never been the type to sugarcoat things.

Desert planet soil is just sand... Pretty bad for agriculture, so people need to use plants to give them farmland in the first place for crops.
It's rough... It's not like plants normally reproduce, either. Plants giving birth to new plants is extremely rare.

[Not that he thinks they should have to leave if they don't want to--but it's a different story when the option itself isn't there.]

But for now Kaveh just perks up, interested.]
That's great, isn't it? Did they bring more supplies, or are they just relocating people?

Don't know. Pretty sure I died somewhere around there.

[ Which is a simple answer. Life and home are where the people are, right? ]

Yes, that does sound the best.

Instead, sincerely:]
I want you three to make it home.

[ He's older than you and is resigned to certain fates. It is just the way of Trigun. ]
I hope the same for you three, too.
[ shenhe is still alive. ]
