[Hylia certainly was strong. A lot stronger than she could've been, in all honesty. ... Venti truly admired that maturity in her and that ability to keep a strong face, no matter what either of them were feeling right now.]
My time should have came to an end long ago, and yet-- [She pauses, frowning.] it still hasn't. When I first came upon this world, that is. But if this world calls for us to protect it, then I will stand up and protect this world as well as my friends. No matter what fate might await me in the end.
( "... You're not serious. That's just-- that's stupid! Don't you even realize what you're saying?!" )
[Deep inside, it seemed like she felt the slightest hint of anger swelling up. How strange. Nevertheless, a tiny hand extends forward, before she briefly hesitates, pulling back. Then, finally relenting, she clings to a part of Hylia's sleeve, looking up to her.]
But I do have one request of you, Hylia. I want you to promise me one thing as a friend. The people here... they look up to you - they trust you. That much I have seen. So please, see this conflict to the end, if I'm unable to do so alongside you. ... I'm tired of losing my friends.
( "Dammit, stop it with all this talk. You're just being a hypocrite and you know it! If they're your friends, don't you think they don't want to lose you either?!" )
