Yeah.

[her ears droop a bit.]

I wish we'd found them, too. But Nahida did what she did knowing what it might cost her.

[teenrebellion]

I know. And I know she wouldn't have wanted anyone else to take the fall for her, either.

[ he shrugs. ]

I'm just... not enough of a good person to wish it hadn't been her we caught.

[honkinbigteeth]

It's getting to the point where it's always going to be bad. But I also wish it wasn't her.

[teenrebellion]

You're not wrong.

[ he's just not inclined to forgive, is all. it doesn't really matter who it was - sometimes it really just black and white, for him. ]

Maybe the messages we get this week will give us something more to work with. I don't know.

At least you guys are probably still in the lead.

[honkinbigteeth]

Yeah. I'm pretty sure we are. So we're going to do our best to save Setsu...!

[teenrebellion]

...Thank you, Ylfa. I wish we didn't have to keep relying on you so much, but... thanks. I know Setsu will appreciate it, too.

[honkinbigteeth]

It's okay. You guys can rely on me. I want to be reliable.

[teenrebellion]

And you are, I just... don't think you should have to be reliable all the time, you know? You're more than what you can do to help all of us, but it can be easy to get caught up in that kind of thing.

[honkinbigteeth]

...Yeah, I know. But also there are situations where people are like "you don't have to take too much on" but, like. Someone has to do something.

[teenrebellion]

Well, yeah. But you're supposed to, like - share that. No one can do everything on their own, or they just get worn down until they break. That's really what it is, you know?

Someone has to do something, but they shouldn't have to shoulder everything on their own. That goes for you or anyone else. Otherwise, what are we even here for, if we're not going to at least try to help somehow?

[ not that kazuki ever knows how, in situations like this... but still. ]
