Although it's perhaps a tad curt compared to Lapis' own long description, there is a reaction on Alice's end. A nod when the other looks over at her. Even if the other uses such a simple word as 'complete' for it, Alice can kind of imagine the fullness of that emotion enough to just nod to show she understands.
"That is a good thing," she says.
After all, Alice knows. She has so much experience with it. Not even necessarily with people leaving this place, because she can at least imagine they are going back to their own worlds and living their best life there.. but she does remember the way she never properly got to process the death of her family left a gigantic scar on her heart.
No one should have to bear something like that.
"Even if you can't ever give it to him, it has meaning as long as it makes you feel better. I suppose we all have our own ways to cope with life on the train and its ups and downs." Including having to watch people you've grown attached to leave. "There is not a way out there that is more or less valid than any other."
