...yeah, I know. He had every reason to be, I guess.

I've been hearing that a lot lately here, too. Everybody seems to be thinking about that lesson, and I told Adora pretty much the same thing last week. We could all use the reminder.

[momming]

I also told Byleth that, on Sunday.

... I don't want to think we won't see them again, but I think the sentiment is still there.

[goalsides]

We're going to see them again, but it doesn't change that we should tell people the things they need to hear. You never know who it'll actually help, right?

[momming]

Right. It really might make all the difference.

I don't want people to lose hope when we're so close to the end.

[momming]

... They won't.

[ She pauses, rests a hand over her heart. ]

It's going to be difficult, Taichi-kun. I can't pretend that it won't be. I think we're going to feel much more pain before we can say we've pulled through.

But the will of the people I've met here-- it's so strong. I'm sure that we'll all keep going, no matter what happens. No matter how much it hurts.

I don't want us to lose to a world like this.

[goalsides]

We're not going to. We won't let people fall behind and we won't lose to whatever it is that's challenging us. I know that it's hard now, but...giving up now doesn't make sense. If they want us to play a role and be a part of some dramatic story, then we have to do everything we can.

I know you still can't say anything, Otome-san, but do you think we're going the right way now?

[momming]

... Mm. You've brought up some very good points.

[ She looks at him a little apologetically. ]

There's a lot you know that you can't tell us at the risk of a repeat performance, I think...so we'll have to piece stuff together ourselves. Someone's going to talk to the dead tomorrow. We'll try to get some answers then, too.
