Well... she was worried that there could be a point we might lose hope. [ tilting his head, trying to recall ] She didn't think we'd reached it, but she was worried about that future.
She's seen a lot in her life... but she always did want the best for people. She wanted their happiness more than anything.
[ and when he talks about her, it's warm. fond. tinted with sadness ]
Not after today, and how much both Ellie and Zhongli have encouraged us. I rather think I'd hate to disappoint them, and I'm sure others feel the same.
And if the urge ever strikes... we can at least find reassurance in each other.
[ 'Or however long we got'. As easy as it is to think the worst of it couldn't possibly happen to her or those she cherishes the most, sometimes, the truth is... it could always be their last week, and that's terrifying to think about. ]
Sometimes, it feels like that's all we can really do—just cherish the simpler, better moments we have with each other.
[ Because what else could they do, besides spin their wheels over everything else? ]

Do you think that could happen? That everyone would start losing hope...?

You've always been there for me too, Yves, and I think it'd be that more lost if you weren't.

Same to you, you know?
I like talking to you and just... getting to think that things can be normal for a little while, or however long we get.

That's living too, isn't it?
[ maybe it's not quite the same schedule as it is here but ]
Enjoying the little moments between everything else. Like getting to enjoy a treat with a friend, or admire the scenery.

And I'll do the same for you. That's what friends are meant to do, right?
