[N-No, don't cry! If he cries, she'll have to cry and... oh Goddess, her eyes are pricking already.
She loops her arms around his back in return, squeezing back. She's had more hugs in the time since waking up here than she has in the last five years combined, and it overwhelms her each and every time.]
Um, I—can't speak for your Bernadetta—no, no, not, uh, that she's—that you—that you would ever—no, Bernie, focus!
[Deep breaths, girl.]
She... made different choices than me. And, and I'm not judging her for that, but... they'll have consequences for her. And—well, I-I'm going to assume some things for a minute, i-if that's okay? You're... really strong. ...Uh, that's not the assumption, hold on—you're really strong and that doesn't actually... change some facts. Y-You can't fight off death, or weird... holy... time... magic, or... whatever is really keeping us here.
[She has a point, bear with her.]
I... I don't have anything to go back to, whenever all this ends. And, I don't know what's waiting for you, but, your... that other me? I... know what's waiting for her, after you all part ways. You see, um... if you defeated Edelgard, that means my—her—our? ...our father isn't under house arrest anymore. So, um... I guess... I guess what I'm asking is...
[Is this the right way to comfort him? Probably not, but she'll try anyways.]
If I'm your friend, and she's your friend? Please... don't let her go back to that alone, when you see her again. That's a fight that's definitely winnable, even... even if she feels like it isn't.
