[it's - so painfully obvious that it's caused an entirely separate conflict in him but. at least that's one that he knows that he has to resolve on his own. his expression turns a little thoughtful at that]
... one more floor. And then we'll deal with the monster. I think... we really are coming up on the end of all of it.
[all of this, everything they've gone through - it has to count for something. she's not sure she'll ever be able to look back on all the lives that were lost and say it was worth it, but...
she at least wants to make sure it's not for nothing. they have to get out of this, and they have to make sure it doesn't happen again.]
We've come this far. And we achieved something today that people have been saying since the start was probably impossible.
So, there's bound to be other "impossible" things that we can manage, too.
I think so. I... You heard what Molly said today, right? About Beauregard-san. [there's the sparks of concern, of worry] I think that the departed - they've said that they're counting on us. I hope that means that we can still try to save them.
I'm hoping we can get out of here, and that we can save them while we're at it. It feels like we're getting closer to the end so...
[she nods. that concern and worry is echoed back to him - and there's determination that settles in.
beau might very well be gone. that's not something she really wants to accept, and it's not a fate she wants to accept for any of the other dead, either. she wants to bring them all out of wherever they are, if they can.]
...right. This isn't over just yet.
If there wasn't some way to save them, I don't think there would be a way for them to communicate with us. So let's do our best and keep working at it.
We'll figure out how to take care of who we can. We've at least been able to show that we care about each other enough in order to not want to vote for anyone, right? No petty arguments or anything...
[she squeezes his hand, then gives it a light shake. there! they shook on it! it's official, they'll definitely make it through this.
her own emotions aren't exactly settled, but - she's determined. that's the most prevalent feeling there, despite the mixed-up jumble of everything else that she can't shake.]

[which
he does honestly find to be quite the relief]
no subject
We did manage that. This whole time, people have said that it might not be possible, but - we proved that wrong.
[it had taken some convincing, but -
if they can avoid an execution, maybe they can make it a week without a murder, too. and who else knows what they might be able to accomplish?]
no subject
Yeah. We did. So we just have to keep making more things possible, with all the people we've still got.
I think we can do it.

[eyes on the prize, or so the saying goes. they're almost there. there might be guilt and doubts that they have to deal with, but -
they can't let it eat them alive. not when there's still things they need to do and people they need to save.
she holds out her hand to him.]
No giving up now, right?
no subject
.... yeah. No giving up.
We'll win this - whatever the hell that looks like.

We will. We definitely will.
