[ While Punisher isn't done brooding, he figures out that he could at least sit next to Memoir even if they don't talk. Whenever he tries to speak up, his mind just goes blank. He's never been great with expressing his feelings and this situation is no exception.
Still, there's no need to ask when he can clearly see that the recent events are gnawing at Memoir's heart. ]
I... wish that fight never ended.
[ Deep down, Punisher knows that he's going against everything they fought for, but the pain is unbearable. ]
[ He can barely look at Punisher as he takes a seat next to him. He's almost expecting Punisher to say something to him, like he should have healed Unna, or he should have done better, but...
...It seems like they're both blaming themselves for it. They're alike in that regard, then. Memoir can't even argue against what he's saying; he, too, wishes that they had more time. ]
...Where did we go wrong? Was there...was there truly nothing we could have done to...?
[ Saying that single we is rather difficult. In his eyes, they worked pretty well as a team. He should thank Memoir for that healing spell, too. ]
You did everything you could, Memoir.
[ As for him... Punisher has his doubts. If he hadn't driven his sword through Corbenik's throat, Oria would have done it. He can still remember that firm voice of his even now. ]
[ He might sound strong, but he owes Memoir an explanation. ]
I would have given up if it wasn't a disgrace to Uta.
[ It looks like Oriade's message finally got across. However, in all fairness, it still feels like he might give in to the sadness at any given moment. ]

I...I could have done more. Maybe, if I had healed her, even just once...
[ But that could have brought Corbenik back. There's no way to know, now. ]
Even so, thank you, Punisher. For being there.

[ Honestly, this is just a theory. They will never get any confirmation. ]
It's up to us what we're going to believe in.
[ He wishes he could believe in Uta's return, but that really doesn't seem feasible. ]

[ Punisher...you speak the truth. ]
I'm really glad to hear that you haven't given up. I want us to get through this together.

That doesn't matter, now. Whatever reason we have to keep going is something we should hold on to.
