[She'll follow his look, closing her eyes for a moment just to listen to the song.]
... When we found out about Mettaton, I reacted as badly as you had towards Black. You remember that.
[Who couldn't?]
I might've not killed him -- I couldn't even vote for him, I didn't do anything that led to his death except checking the phone he had on him -- but I know I still hurt him, and... I'm only thankful I got to spend the small time I did with him before we voted.
[It wasn't enough. It'll never be enough, but that wistfulness is simply heard and seen in her smile, not spoken.]
I didn't get the chance to give him a second chance, and... I spend every other day or so writing to him now, even though I know there's no way he'll ever see it. Just like how his cousin won't ever get to read the letters he wrote himself. That's why I'm glad you're giving Black a second chance.
I won't convince you to do this or that, Yosuke, because ultimately that is on you and how you want this to go. But it would mean the world to me and to Black if you stayed his friend, at least, if nothing else. To keep him on a straighter path and make sure he's not alone. To be by his side when no one else will be, especially now.
... It doesn't mean you have to forgive him. You're aware what he's capable of, if you didn't before, so you're more apt to see the signs again and know what's going on more than others. It just means that you're deciding to push him on it instead of waiting for him to come out about it himself, if you have your worries.
[Sigrun tilts her head towards Black, the wistfulness from before a little more solemn now.]
All I can really say is that if Mettaton were still around, then I'd be spending every day I could with him -- not just because I love him, because I like being around him, and because he's still important to me, but to keep an eye on him, too. Most of that is because out of every other person in the vault, I was the one he didn't perform in front of, that he was honest with and... trusted completely. I can't forget any of that.
But it's also because the rest of you are important to me, too, that I'd give anything to protect you all from something like this happening again.
[... She's not sure where her point was, but-- she hasn't really told anyone but Cherryblod any of this (admittedly in parts, and there's some she's more sure of now than before, so it might be new), and... she knows how Yosuke's feeling, of all people.
It really sucks that both betrayals were people who were close to her. But it sucks even more for something like love, even a small part off it like a crush, to come into play for both of them too, and to have it end in the same hurt.]
tl;dr i'm sorry??
