It was part of a prophecy that hadn't been fulfilled for hundreds of years. I don't know when the circumstances necessary would have occurred again.

I'm not expecting or deserving of either. [a pause.] Parts of it, certainly.

[but not all. she respects him enough not to lie about this.

[Why did you have to use the word prophecy? Why?] ...ah. [DAMNIT. He rubs the back of his neck, not meeting her eyes again.] Were you the only one who could fulfill it? The prophecy, I mean.

And you're right. You're not. Which parts do you regret? Just the ones where you were caught?

No. Someone could have done so again, but I don't know how long it would take. It took hundreds of years before it was fulfilled the first time. Hundreds of thousands of people had died.

[why this. she knows she deserves this, but that doesn't stop her from looking especially hurt for a moment.]

...No, of course not. I should have - I know I should have said something.

[He frowns unhappily before he shakes his head]

...everyone else seems to be giving it to you pretty good. [Way to piss off a lot of people, Addie.] So I'm not going to keep scolding you. But just...apologize to Machias and Minako when you get to wherever you guys go. Okay?

[she gets it. they trusted her.]

I will. And...

[she's probably running out of time, but she doesn't know how to end this. nothing she could say feels enough.]

...Make sure you leave here.
