Hope nods once again. She leads her shadow over to the machine, where it grabs the shadow, forcing it to listen to Hope. It doesn't want to, as it struggles to escape, but to no avail. "影も、なぜ怒っているの?なぜ消去するのですか?意味が無い。理由はありません。どうして?" [Shadow, why mad? Why erase? No point. No reason. Why?] she asks it calmly. "望むしてうまくいかないことを願っています。消去する場合は、もっとうまくやってくださいね?" [Hope worried won't do well. If erase, do better, right?] asks her shadow. It seems his humanity is coming back. "いいえ、影も。消去してもうまくいきません," [No, shadow. No do better if erase,] Hope replies.
(Yes, you saw that right. No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. I've decided that Hope's shadow was just a male Octoling that got sanitized. Once AGAIN, I greatly apologize for what I have done...)
