[ Someone was going to die because of you. Either because of something you did, or something you failed to do.

It hurts to hear it, but Alexei is right. Tenn's known this all along, and Alexei's just giving a voice to what Tenn's been coming to terms with over these past few days. There's a pained look in his eyes.

And then Alexei continues, and that look begins to ease up -- just a little. ]

...Thank you.

[ He sighs quietly. ]

I won't ask you about your wish, but mine really doesn't matter anymore. As sad as it is, it...helps. But I hope that's the choice you continue to make as well, Alexei-san.
