grabs my bag T-taxis are busy, huh?
It takes OceanOracle longer than expected to get ready due to his weakened state, causing Sophie to become even more anxious.
grabs Sophie’s hand S-sophie I-I can’t do it l-looking like t-this. Just t-let me change, okay?

voice trembling N-No, OceanOracle, don't apologize! You did nothing wrong. This is not your fault, okay?
looks into the sky s-sophie…I-I don’t think I’m gonna m-make it…

tears streaming down her face Y-yes, OceanOracle, I promise! I promise I'll get my degree and make you proud. Just hold on, okay? Please, just hold on for me.

sobbing OceanOracle, you have to promise me something too. Promise me that you'll fight to get better, okay? Promise me you won't give up on me or our future together.
weakly I p-promise, Sophie…
wipes away tears, determined OceanOracle, I won't let anything happen to you. I'll stay by your side, no matter what. We're in this together, okay?
