Okay. For how honest you've been with me lately.... I can't deny you.
[ she's weak to a certain kind of earnestness even if doesn't look the same from different people.
she sighs after a longer moment. she looks up at him, meets his gaze, and doesn't look away. ]
You know how persistent Yves is. [ so she wonders if claude could have guessed what she could have said that would make yves back off. ] When I return, once I finish what I need to, there will be no world for anyone to follow me to.
[ she thinks this is something to love about claude, too. that he seeks solutions and answers even if he is brushing away her emotions. ]
My world has been corrupted, and I can't let the person who corrupted it leave to corrupt the outside world, too. [ that's the real actual world and not a digital one made of memories and data. ] It has to be wiped out in its entirety.

I don't know what promise is worth your life. I'd hate for someone to make a promise like that to me.
[ But he gets it. He deeply wants to live and survive more than anything, but it's not like he doesn't put his life on the line every day fighting for his dreams. ]
You say that you've made peace with it, and it's okay if you don't want to revisit the heartache. But if you want a place to feel hurt, then you have it.
[ For someone who loves as much as this to be separated from those she loves... ]

How much do you want to know? Are you sure you want to know the full truth?

Now, at the end? That is what I want, if you're willing to share it.

[ He just let's that sink in, and as ever... He's looking for information. Solutions and pathways to take. ]
No backup, this time?
