...Supposing what the fairies told us is true, you're right. We have little to worry about while we're here.
[But Diluc takes more solace in Dorothea's strength than he does the words of the fairies. Regardless, at least he has someone with whom to place his faith.]
I suppose in that case the only difficulty is finding some purpose to being in this place. Some way to help, to contribute while some piece of me is here. [Difficult as that is, he turns the question around on Dorothea.] What do you intend to do with your time here?
