[weh. this makes her sad, and it's clear that it does.]
I didn't, before I came here. [any of those things, she didn't stand up for people or care about them, not really, not until the traveler came along. that was the start. and then she got here, and people were so kind to her, and - she felt like she needed to. i've never thought this way before, and i wonder whether i will continue to think this way, she'd said to yun jin, standing in the remains of her village.
turns out she had. she just needed a little push.]
I think you could be good in those ways, if you tried. [she says, watching him.] I think that you are. It takes someone brave to be willing to take on the role of the villain, the way you have.
[ he flinches a bit at "role of the villain" because, yeah. yeah he sure did. its very far from what his story is supposed to be, isn't it? fairytale princes don't go around murdering their friends for life points. but they probably aren't friends with little wolf girls and feral crane women in the first place either. ]
If I've done all of this, it can't be for nothing. It's very important to me that you get to return to life. Be with Nahri and see Ylfa and your team.

when he tells her that, she finally smiles a little.]
... I will try to be as sure as you. [she wants that, but also:] So that you can see Ylfa again, too, and that all of your team will be reunited.
