[It's vague, but it tells him something, too.]

Alright. Then let's work at it, to whatever extent we can.

[momming]

... Thank you.

[ For a lot of things, but most importantly-- ]

I'm glad she has you.

[katzepaw]

She always will, though I am the fortunate one.

[To have people like her who care about him. . . it's more than what he feels he deserves, so he intends to protect it however he can.]

[momming]

I don't particularly see why it can't be both.

[ Though this group doesn't seem to be all that confident about themselves. ]

[katzepaw]

[Sometimes you have brain problems. He laughs a little at that, but says no more.]

. . . We've treated both you and Byleth a bit cruelly, haven't we? Exposing you, but leaving you to wait around for the hammer to drop.

[momming]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Just another punishment, but I can't deny that I deserve it.

[ She waits four days for someone to kill her or no one does and she lives with this for longer. ]

[katzepaw]

You don't deserve it.

[Softly.]

. . . What do you hope happens? Do you want to be free of this? Or if you had the choice, would you rather stay and do what you can?

[momming]

[ Why does it sound like you're interviewing her, sir-- ]

... I don't want to run from responsibility. If I could, I would stay and try to bring this to a close.

[katzepaw]

[He definitely, vaguely, has the vibe of a person who would kill you if you asked him to.]

. . . Good. Then I hope you can.
