[Battler can already feel the tears reaching his eyes, and he brings a hand up to his face to try and stop them before anything happens.]

....So don't tell me that Ange deserves better, I know what she's capable of, she's strong.... she deserves someone that's just as strong as her and not someone like her brother that messes up more often than not....

I just.... want you to keep her safe, okay? I want you to be close to her when I can't, I want you to support her and comfort her when she's down... pat her on the head when I'm not around....

So.... realize your past, understand your sins, and try and change everything for the better so people don't have to suffer anymore.... you're a better person than me, that's for sure.

I couldn't even remember a promise I made six years ago, so don't forget anyone like I did.

[ Yuri stumbled a bit, as soon as Battler's grip disappeared. So, that was the situation for him, wasn't it? ...His words to Yuri made more sense, knowing all this now. Yuri stayed quiet when Battler spoke, and even after he had finished saying everything, Yuri didn't move a muscle. Not until a minute or so later. He sighed, his eyes closed, as he moved from his spot, and began to walk towards Battler's side.

Realize your past, huh?

He didn't turn to face Battler, but instead, put a hand on his shoulder. ]

I promise. I'm going to keep her safe, okay? I'll be there for her when you're not around. [ His tone of voice, though Battler couldn't see his expression, was evidence that there was a small, small smile on his face. ]

You're a good big brother, Battler. I'm not gonna let you down. [ His hand moved off Battler's shoulder as he took a few more steps past Battler, still facing away. ]

Can we just drop love out of the equation, though? I can be everything else. I can say that much.

[Ugh.... this... this guy! He wasn't understanding, he wasn't getting it at all! He knows that Ange won't be satisfied with this, it'll all be pointless if he can't accept the fact that they should be together- that they need to be together for Ange to even be fully happy again....!

He knew this could ruin everything, and if Ange isn't happy and willing to move on then things won't go well.]

Lowell.... [he choked out his name, sniffling a bit and trying to get himself under control again.]

You might not let me down but you'll be letting her down if you don't accept her love- don't you see? I know you said you can be everything else but.... that's so useless, so impossibly useless....!

At least consider what I'm saying! You said you'll be there for me after everything so that means you can't die, so it might be dangerous but you'll live so it's fine...!

[ He really just wanted this conversation to end. Yuri let go of Battler's shoulder, walking forward a little more. It was already way too late for this kind of stuff, and they had to face who knows who in the morning. ]

...I'll consider it. Let's stop here for now. We're both tired. And I left Repede to guard duty. [ He looked back to Battler. There was no trace of the small smile he had before. It was obvious he didn't want to talk about this anymore right now. ]

I'll see you around, Battler.

[...This guy is really walking away?! When he feels Yuri's hand leave his shoulder, Battler immediately turns around and looks at the back of the guy.]

Lowell...! I just.... I'm sorry for everything you know? I know it's hard and all but... thanks for at least staying by her side, even after all this!

[Jeez, he really didn't want to shout something like that, it feels almost like admitting defeat since Yuri isn't going to say he'll accept her feelings, but... this is the best he can do for now.]
