Our time together always gets cut short somehow.

[ britt and i racing to die every chance we get. ]

And it seems like enough time has passed for her after the camp, from that message.

Did you talk to her about it at all? What she did after your time at the camp?

... Not yet. I thought we'd have more time.

[ she was obviously mistaken.

since she didn't know flayn was a mod character. ]

I don't blame you... The usual targets at Wiwaldi were grown men.

I didn't expect the first victim to be Flayn.

[ she looks at claude, a grown man. the question her look asks, were you targeted? ]

... Trouble seems to follow Flayn, one way or another.

It wasn't so different for her in Fódlan either, I'm afraid.

[ he sees the look! smiles a little ]

And no, if you're wondering. It seems I got lucky.

... I saw something, in a memory. I'm sorry it keeps happening to her.

[ she hates that it keeps happening..

his answer nets a genuine, relieved smile from her. ]

It eases my heart to know you were able to make it through alive.

[ she doesn't know his canon point, so she can say this. ]

[ He doesn't really know what to say in response to her kindness, so he just smiles awkwardly. ]

I hope you're resting in between all of that concern you feel for others, Shinobu. You do look responsible, but I've been disappointed too many times now.

[ claude... weren't people kind to you before now?

shinobu looks a little surprised. ]

What do you consider responsible? I'm not planning to wear myself out from the start.

[ they are, he's just awkard ]

So you've got me time scheduled?

[ she smiles up at him. ]

Of course I do.

Really? [ hmm ] What does it entail?

You have no trust in me, do you? I know what's good for my health, Claude-san. I sleep everyday and I eat multiple times a day.

[ she smiles. ]

If I want to be stronger, I can't make myself weaker.
