[He doesn't get what she's trying to say at first, but the bright-eyed expression says everything that needs to be said.]
...I don't know. I don't know if it's possible to go further back in time. It... might be, but I won't know for certain until we can rebuild the machine that brought me here.
[Bringing Kamina back would be incredible; they certainly could have used his help, but he doesn't want to promise anything when he has no idea if it's even possible.]
"Yeah, you're right." It makes perfect sense, of course... but Yoko can't quite quell the hope.
"But... even if we can't... the future you're coming from--it's worth it, isn't it? Not just him. The whole war, everyone who's been hurt... It's worth it in the end. Right?"
She really doesn't know what she'll do if the answer isn't "yes."
[He smiles at that. The expression is a bit awkward, but it's obvious that he's trying.]
Humans can live freely on the surface and the technology has boomed in the past seven years. Everything has gotten better and everyone's lives are much better living on the surface. It's definitely worth it.
[He doesn't mention Lordgenome's words; now isn't the time to bring them up.]
It's kind of funny--seeing adult Rossiu smile is just like seeing teenager Rossiu do it. They both smile so tentatively, as if they're not used to it, almost like it's a taboo. It's almost adorable, really.
Yoko shines a smile herself. "Good. I guess we should go find Leeron, then."
In seven years when Rossiu's going off his rocker and sacrificing Simon for the sake of PR, then Yoko will have reason to be distrustful. But for now there's no precedent for her to be suspicious, when the Rossiu she knows is a loyal member of Team Gurren and she has little cause to suspect his future version is anything other.
"They're not going to believe me unless I come walking in with you," she says. "Unless you feel like finding a disguise and keeping your identity a secret from everybody but me and Leeron, it's probably better to do it this way."

[He's very pleased that Yoko believes him. He was a bit worried she wouldn't trust him about this. Maybe he's just being paranoid about all this.]

[Alright then, he'll just have to hope for the best. This is going to be a disaster, isn't it...]
