I've heard it said that love is hard. Many people never seek to pursue it for themselves, and even many of those who do can spend lifetimes searching for it without ever truly finding it.

Though...once you've finally scaled that mountain, it's not particularly hard to stay at its summit. If it's something one cares to do, there's nothing more worth it in the world.

She appears to consider this with a great deal of thought.

"...'And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.' I think... that seems like something to aspire to."

"Mhm. And even if it's hard... that makes it all the more worth... um, worthwhile, doesn't it?"

Earnestly:

"I'm really smart! Someday I'm going to be the smartest!"

Oh, I'm sure! A lofty goal, but I'm sure you're capable of it.

"I definitely am!" Sparklesparkle.

"...I think you're really smart, too. I think I'm learning a lot from you, so... I want to see what you have to say about all of this."
