[ it only hurts as much as it does because you care about each other. that's something that Meteion has known for quite a long time now, has felt that way with Hermes. more so here now... with so many more people she's come to care about, but.

she wouldn't want it any other way. she listens quietly, wiping at her eyes as she tries to steady her breaths. she can feel that worry and guilt but... it's no different from what she's been feeling since she's come back. at least it's in a more manageable amount now. ]

..I think, we can get through it, too. Even if it's... really hard. We all have those that care for us here. [ but.. ] Can you, check on Prompto and Aymeric for me..? I, I want to make sure they'll be okay, too. I don't.. I don't want them to feel like they could have done anything else. We.. I think we did the best, we could, in the end.
