[ Well, Void Archives' expression looks pinched and annoyed when Wolfwood presents the question that he does. They thought that, even if Wolfwood had his complications towards life, he might at least look towards it more favorably if there was a true opportunity to extend the time he had with someone who seems so important to him. Yes, he had all of that guilt, but he also seemed adamant about sticking close to Vash's side - and there was the bit of determination or resolve towards whatever feelings he had in the man's direction in that previous week.

So, maybe, Wolfwood had experienced some personal changes? But, it seems that they misjudged that, to the point where he said that they are the ones who are so 'hellbent' on 'making sure everything he's said is invalidated'. They huff as Wolfwood says the rest of his words, trying to sort out the rest of whatever they can say.

...Even if we spoke about such matters that were related to this subject, I didn't know the strict details of your situation. Still, I wouldn't say such things if I did not know a method.

So, can you tell me you have not considered it? I also wondered, if perhaps, you had changed in certain respects yourself? And truthfully, you say that your friend will be fine, dealing with it...but, are you alright with it?

Even if your heart is heavy with certain sentiments, with a feeling you must stick to this or that, can you truly say it does not trouble you at all?

If you still can answer so easily with that hardened heart of yours, I ask:

Why must things remain the same? Why can't it change?

[ Though, they look back at Wolfwood, if only just to ask: ]

...And, really, of all the things you have to accept myself saying - it's being a downer?
