But, his expression grows soft, directed towards Atem, and Argenti...

No matter what has happened, he hasn't given up on Atem. He can see that despair and though their situations are vastly differently by far, he feels that sadness clearly in that voice. ]


...Atem, my thoughtful companion.

You are not alone. You no longer have to be alone.

Even if it hurts, that hasn't changed. You're still a companion I have gotten to know well - a dear friend.

[ Argenti smiles at him still, welcoming all the same. ]

There are others that feel the same. That wish to still spend time with you. We do not wish to leave you to suffer all of this by yourself...what happened then was sad, yes, but I have a feeling that you did your best.

Those that love you would wish for you to walk forward, wouldn't they? Back to those who are still here, who will remain to support you through the hard times.

And, even if it's hard, do you not think that is enough?
