[There's a silence, for a long moment -- before Rei finally works up the nerve to say something. She sounds tired.]
It's getting a lot harder to keep believing everything has a purpose in this place.
[There's a long rush of air as Rei exhales.]
It's almost as if the Animus don't want us here -- but if that's true, then why have I been here for over a year? Why have some people been here longer? What makes some of us different?
-- if anyone's got any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
[The only people Rei would need to tell, about Haruka vanishing, would be the senshi themselves. And the senshi, being the senshi, already know. So why repeat something painful?
But all the same, she seems to want to say more -- before she ends the feed.]

Everyone's presence makes some sort of difference. Whether or not you're going to have a big impact is up to you, not anyone else.
But taming chaos is next to impossible.

In discord, there is suffering, pain. Things slip through the cracks. People fall prey to irrelevant trivialities, and there is little strategic progress. As a principle, magicians harness chaos. They restrict it, bind it, and turn it into order and obedience.
[Nathaniel thinks for a moment.]
I may not be successful. But I will do the best that I can to make this a better place for everyone to coexist in.

[It's said genuinely.]
You and I have the same goal, then. I hope you have more luck than I have.

[He swallows hard, trying to quell the arrogance, the egotism- the lone wolf part of him which preferred the glory in doing some amazing feat alone.]
It's, as you said, a near impossible task. I'll need all the help I can get.

Better me than half of the so-called important people. Have you met the angels yet? Most of them are totally useless.
[It's an attempt to lighten the mood. He strikes her as something of a 'I take things too seriously' type.]

Only one. He was helpful enough.

You have a higher patience level than I do.
