Don't be ridiculous. What I know from before has an impact on every situation you are involved in, just as it is the case for me.
[Just as he, too, has every single experience tainted by the fact that he died, that he betrayed Stahn and the others, that he gave his life for Stahn and the others--
So, too, is every one of Lili's experiences affected by the fact that Yona is so important to her that she'd give her life for her.
They both know it, so Leon fails to see any reason to pretend otherwise.]
So what do you propose I do then, if you're in the mood to preach and pretend that you understand me?
[Which is said with a little bit more bite - but the fact that she even cares about Leon's opinion remains. She'd asked him the initial question to figure out what he'd do. How he'd feel.
Turns out that she's the only one actually dealing with it and she isn't sure what her next step should be.]
More of a statement of fact than any sort of judgment that she intends, but following that she does place her CereVice on the table face down before curling in on herself.
In a distant way, she can acknowledge that Leon.... cares, if only a little bit. Cares enough to let her know if he sees Yona, because she's distressed without her. But... she also doesn't think that it's fair to keep bothering him any more than she already has.]
[He knows the end of a conversation when he sees one. Ultimately, in the end, he doesn't think he was able to help her at all--
But maybe that's for the better. Because Leon doesn't know how to help people like Lili, and for all of her talk of staying by his side and making sure he's not alone, maybe now she'll realize she's better off without hanging on to people like him.
Perhaps.
Either way, he'll let the conversation lie, and he won't bother to try to respond.]

If he knew what to do, wouldn't he have already told her?]
Don't deny that that is the case.
[That's...all he can really say, there.
Because... he does understand.
Even if he doesn't know what to say, he doesn't understand.]

When Lili knows in a heartbeat that if it meant knowing that Yona was safe somewhere, she would put herself in danger. Immediately.]
You've already said that.
I just want answers.
[Though the second text only comes after a bit of a pause.]
no subject
He doesn't like it either, but...]
I do not have any answers for you.
no subject
That's fine. You have done enough.
