And maybe it shouldn't be asked, but it is something that has existed at the corners of Sayori's mind in the abstract, a doubt that she couldn't—or wouldn't—put words to. You can't answer a question if it's never asked!
Looks like she has to answer it now, though. And she does think it over. Maybe...maybe for one awful moment, when she first saw Monika and it brought her back to that hell in Wonderland, the nightmare of existence and the knowledge she shouldn't have—maybe then, there was a part of her that selfishly wished she didn't have to confront Monika.
But she's had some time. Some space. A lot of opportunities to think, and talk, and write. While the instinctive fear still lingers, and the unfamiliar knot of anger is difficult to untangle well enough to direct it all in the proper places, Sayori has found room in her heart for the profound sadness that Monika's situation elicits. Life as a Reclaimer has been challenging in ways that she never could have imagined, but despite that... Sayori has made a good life here, away from the confines of the game. Her friends deserve that shot at happiness too. Even Monika.
In some ways, especially Monika.
After a long, heavy moment of silence, Sayori shakes her head in the negative.] Even if it's complicated right now, I think they could be really happy here.
