Sometimes the world changes and sometimes we do. Sometimes it's both even, but whatever the circumstance, there is now greater harm in keeping a promise than there is in breaking it.

[Diarmuid looks down and it's clear from what can be seen of his face, he is struggling with this idea even as he speaks of it.]

I don't like that, but it is something I have learned here. After all, if it was somehow arranged, none of you would want me to go back and keep the promise I made to Kayneth at the beginning of the war, would you?

Ayaka is smart and resourceful. You know that as well as I do. Can you trust in that so you can move forward and allow your life to serve the new purpose it's being directed toward?

[For a moment, it seems like he will say something else, but then Diarmuid stops and just gives his brother a gentle hug.]

I am not going to say anymore. I am meaning to help you, but I feel like I am actually pressuring you instead. Just make sure you talk with Asagi about it soon. Like I told Xion, when the time is right, I am sure you will know what you need to do.
