(This isn't a situation that Claude has the answers for and he's quiet, letting her speak. This is something... the two of them can try to figure out but will never resolve, not as long as he's gone.)
I think he remembered things, too. (He holds his hand and looks down at his palm for a moment, closing it and setting it back down,) I couldn't tell you specifics or anything though. I'm afraid... I can't offer any peace of mind in this sense.
(And quietly,)
It might not be good bye, though. (He watches Hikaru,) If we can truly find a way to bring everyone back... we can find out more about Raven or Schwann from the source himself.
i keep forgetting this is emotions time so this is my reminder
[She'd told him this, of course. She knows he's right, and the simple reminder alone is enough to settle something in her.]
...Mm.
We can't fail, Nii-chan. The only way we can find another option, for right now, is by helping the Realm repair things.
...
[She'll carefully tug at the fabric between their hands.]
I... hope that, wherever he is... he can watch both of us. I think he would want to see someone like you find a better way where he couldn't... you know?
You both have the same kind of eyes. The same kind of smile. Maybe he'd want you to find something nicer...?
[Mmm. She's simple, but she knows a refusal well enough.
...]
...Raven-san liked collecting the wildflowers, Nii-chan. Even when he was just Schwann. Maybe when this is all done, and we don't have to think about tomorrow...
Could... you help me find some for him? I want to bring them to my prayers.

me too tbh
... That's why we have to work for the Realm. Help it repair and try to fix everything that's wrong in this world.
(It's easier to just focus on a task than it is to really be open.)

(For refusing her just a second ago, the least he can do is grant one of her easier requests without question.)
That much, I can do.
