I want to lie to you and say yes, but you're probably feeling everything I'm feeling right now.
[there's sadness and anger, grief -- but the kind of grief that doesn't feel fresh or new. just something cold, as if Manwol's used to carrying that emotion.]
You don't have to care about that kind of thing with me.
[like she mentioned before. be like manwol, ichinose. she is here and she will PERCEIVE that emotional numbness.]
...I'm tired. I thought there was a good chance Byleth would die this week, and yet I was still surprised to see her. I'm annoyed that I'm surprised, and even more annoyed that I care so much.

... Ahaha, is that so?
[Well. Anyway!! She starts setting her soaked shit out on some spare towels, or whatever.]
Hmm, well, you have a heart. You probably hoped she wouldn't die, and now your hopes have been totally crushed. That's just how it goes.

[is this what manwol takes offense at,]
It's just how this place is, isn't it? I don't need a heart to understand that.
