You know what I've done. [ Tearfully, into her shoulder. ]

I've-- broken my oath as a doctor, Adora is dead because of me, I--!

[ambiography]

Otome, you couldn't have known. You wouldn't have answered if you knew what would happen, would you?

[otome's tears are just-- making her own eyes sting and blur, honestly.]

It isn't your fault. I still believe that whatever led to all of this, whatever made you act, it wasn't-- you wouldn't have wanted to do this.

[momming]

[ They're doing great.

And she's just quietly crying now. ]

[ambiography]

[she expected about as much, she knows there-- seems to be only so much that can be said. lucretia just breathes out, slowly, quiet for a while herself.]

...Otome, what do you want to happen?

[momming]

... I just want to get everyone back home safely. I don't care-- what happens to me anymore.

[ She's Exhausted. ]

[ambiography]

You're not losing your life for this yet, Otome. You can still help with that.

[momming]

... You and I both know there's no guarantee about this. Especially with Byleth's death.

I'll do what I can, while I can.

[ambiography]

I know. But you'll have some time, at least. I'll help you do what you want with it.

[momming]

[ She closes her eyes, exhausted. ]

Thank you. Truly.

[ambiography]

...just tell me what you need. We'll assume you have until Thursday and act accordingly, but if you have more time after that, then we'll continue to do what we can.

[momming]

... Thank you again. I think for now, I just... need to think.

[ About what comes next. ]

[ambiography]

I'll stay if you need me to, Otome.

[but if she needs to be alone to think, then-- she won't force her company on her, either.]

[momming]

[ She smiles wearily, leaning back. ]

You should rest.
