[Arching a brow at him] Has a mark hurt you? It is true that you have died many times, and I assume the same as him. But you continue to live on, do you not? I believe the same for Carlos-san as well, if we bring him back.
[Folding her arms]
We'll have no way to know until tomorrow comes. And it is possible we will have to sacrifice someone to see our wishes come true. Kagachi-san has already offered. I will also if he is somehow not eligible.
[... voice softening a little]
Regardless, we have nine hours to decipher what happened, and move forward, as we always have.
I really need both of you to stop sacrificing yourselves. We're going to find another option that doesn't include that. We're not losing more people than necessary. [Just to address that, but he's chewing his lip.]
...nine hours always feels like so long until you're actually living through it. What if it's not enough?
Ha? Me? Sacrifice myself? I volunteer because I am virtually unkillable. A ship filled with demons will not change that.
[Never mind that she has already admitted she will kind of die because of how Heroic Spirits work but anyway--]
And we will make it enough. We've little choice, yes? And besides, this group is quite resourceful. Have we not successfully captured the demons who have crossed our paths? The stakes are higher, but our goal to escape has not changed. We've merely reached the finale.
[He remembers. He remembers what she's said before and it's just another thing that has him rattled, but he doesn't say so. Instead, he watches her quietly. and thinks of an answer.]
...yeah. [He doesn't have it in him to argue anymore. The fight's not over, but he grows silent again for a moment except for a cough.] We'll just have to work harder than usual tomorrow or something to see it through.
[...] Thank you for the offer. I don't remember if I said.
