[...]

We'll see.

I don't want to lose anyone else, either.

[momming]

[ She just kind of sighs and drops her head onto her shoulder. ]

All we can do is keep trying, regardless of what happens. Did-- did Crow understand?

[divineimpulse]

He did.

But he didn't want to go quietly. He wanted us to work for it.

And then the assimilation started.

[momming]

... I was afraid you'd say that.

[ GODDAMN ASSIMILATION .]

[divineimpulse]

I was able to catch up to him thanks to the assimilation—and we succeeded in toppling him over and back.

It was hard to watch.

[momming]

[ She leans back, but not before taking her hand and squeezing it. ]

No matter what you said, and I know why you did, everyone knew you wouldn't take a life for no reason.

[divineimpulse]

[...]

I don't want anyone else to bear this responsibility.

[momming]

... Yes, I also thought you might say that.

[divineimpulse]

[...]

If what you and Rupert said is true, then...

We have weeks left to hold out for.

[momming]

Graduation... we're through two seasons already. Just Spring and Summer after this.

[divineimpulse]

[...]

I'm not certain I'll make it.

[momming]

... Byleth...

Please, don't think like that.

[ It's an entirely valid point, but a terrifying one to make. ]

[divineimpulse]

I was lucky to convince Beauregard to solve Mollymauk's murder.

I won't be lucky twice, Otome.

[momming]

[ She closes her eyes, takes a deep and steadying breath. ]

Let's... just take it one day at a time. But if that's how you feel, make sure you don't have anything you would regret leaving behind or unfinished.

[divineimpulse]

[she nods.]

I will.
