[he listens to her carefully, understanding what she's saying, and yet at the same time he's far too stubborn to fully give in. he thinks this is the only way, it's all he can see, and he knows at the same time that it's wrong but he doesn't think there's any other option. especially since eva beatrice told him to let ange go, to let her die if she wanted to, and no that's no good, no good at all, he simply won't allow that at all.

they've been through too much, she has so much to live for, she has to realize that, and if lying to her is the only option then so be it. he'll offer her a key at the end of their journey and ask her to choose a door. everything that happened, was it magic? will she let the magic live on in her heart, or will she still say it was all a lie, a trick, and that's all this had ever been? whatever she chooses it's her destiny, that's what he'll allow from her.

but the journey is for him to decide.]

The truth will kill her.

[he brought a hand up to his face, covering it for the time being, not wanting to look at her, actually feeling ashamed for what he's about to do. he had listened to her, to the entire community before, about how he was being a jerk and not acting like himself and he had listened, had forced himself to become what he was before during his battle with the witch.]

I'm sorry....

You know I don't give a damn about that stupid red magic stuff. I already know that there's always loopholes in everything, I learned that much from you.

[ Yuri knew he felt bad about it. But feeling bad about doing the wrong thing and actually doing the right thing were different. Part of her.. definitely wants to comfort him. To tell him it'll be okay and that she still loves him, but she knows that'll just end up with him not taking her words seriously. ]

I'll stay here and I'll still find a way to save you, but as long as you're thinking like that I can't trust you.

[what more can be said here? she doesn't trust him anymore, she won't believe in him, she's not on his side at all, and to top it off she said she'll still stay here and save him but there's no way she'll go back to trusting him. it was all like a punch in the face, and he didn't know what to do.

he looked back up at her, the nodded about all that, turning around and walking back the way he came.]

Like I said before, I don't mind being the bad guy if it means protecting those I love. If that's how you feel then so be it.

[ It hurt a little that despite everything, it wasn't that he was going to back down or reconsider her opinion at all. That he was more than content to lie to her than consider other possibilities. She couldn't talk, of course, considering that she tended to close herself off from other when she thought she had to do the right thing but..

She'd never outright ignored what the others had to say. Certainly not what Battler had to say. "So be it" was about as dismissive as you could get, and that was a bit painful to hear. ]

This is going to bite you in the ass, Battler.

[ And not just because of her. ]
