[Locked from Wesker]

[unknownrival]

I think... I should probably think about giving up my robes.

[Locked to Louis]
Relatedly, I may need somebody dead. I know you don't want my soul, and I can't give my life because of Diarmuid. But there must be something.

[unknownrival]

Thank you, Retasu.

[aquaticrush]

I don't think you should give up.

[unknownrival]

I'll keep that in mind.

[aquaticrush]

I don't know what to do. I don't know how to help, Issei-san.

[unknownrival]

I don't either. Or I'd say something.

[aquaticrush]

Did somebody hurt you?

[unknownrival]

Not yet.

[aquaticrush]

I know you have other people who would be better at protecting you, but if you're in danger, I'll come over.

[unknownrival]

It's nothing, really.

[aquaticrush]

Really.

[unknownrival]

I know that you mean it.

[aquaticrush]

This is what I mean when I say you're a good person. You're caring. You try to do your best for everyone. I may not know everything about your situation, but I know you never intend to do anything but make the world better.

[unknownrival]

Is that really true?

[aquaticrush]

Even when a person does nothing but cause you trouble, or is even outright terrible to you, you will only hurt them if it's the right thing to do. You'll even be kind to them, if it's the right thing to do. I've seen it.

[unknownrival]

I don't think so.

And don't give yourself as an example, because you're not.

[aquaticrush]

What about Kefka-san? Even though he's scary and he's done some really bad things, you're nice to him and you've even worked to help him.

[unknownrival]

I guess...

[aquaticrush]

You've even been nice to Scratch-san, and we both know he's actually horrible! You're a better person than anybody else I know!

[unknownrival]

I'm grateful to you.

[aquaticrush]

I haven't done enough for you. I've barely done anything, and most of it is to make up for things I've done to inconvenience you. You do things because you want the world to get better.

[unknownrival]

Stop selling yourself short. I'm really not in the mood.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry. Even so, it's true that you're a very good person. Please don't sell yourself short either!

[unknownrival]

Okay.

[aquaticrush]

Please believe it, Issei.

[unknownrival]

I promise.
