[ At least there's no way he'll step away now. Not with his hand in Nita's like that, not with how Inigo would never be the first to pull away so quickly, so suddenly. It basically means he's rooted to the spot. Staring at her. Taking in those words.

She's right. He knows Nita is right, and yet.. it's so hard to stop his heart from worrying. ]


But what if it's not enough?

[ It's not the sort of thing Inigo would always admit to. Usually he'd try to cover up these worries, the pessimism in his mind, just to make sure no one else deals with it. But it's harder to do that when it's Nita, and when she brings this all up so seriously. ]

Like you said.. We can't know. And I don't want to leave anything up to coincidence. We already let one place die. [ Even though that wasn't their fault, as much as it was the train pulling them back before they even could do anything. ] And I already let a place die out back home too. I can't..

[ His words trail off, and he shakes his head, shutting his eyes, as if he's trying to hide from a mental image. ]

I can't let a third world die on my watch. What would that make me?
