[It's... sad. It's so, so terribly sad. Listening to her, suddenly a great deal of what she's said or even vaguely alluded to in the past makes a lot more sense. Her last words especially worry him; when they spoke of sacrificing for their mutual worlds, she hadn't specified the how or why, and he'd been too upset to question her. Is she doing it because she has to die to save the world, or because her death would prevent the destruction she's fearing now?
Because that doesn't sound right. And he can't accept it, if that's her answer.]
Pyra... think about how many generations that is. If your brother wanted to destroy all the humans, and Mythra stopped him, then that's 500 years they were able to live and grow, thanks to you. Every person still alive after 500 years is only there because you saved them.
[He tries to think about the span of 500 years, but like when he tries to imagine the 2000 years Ardyn was locked away, he can't fathom it. He can hardly parse the 10 years he'll be in the Crystal. He's 20 years old (21!) and he's forgotten most of his childhood. 500 years is so, so long. A single human would be lucky to live a fraction of that time.]
You don't have to save the world forever. Saving just one person means so much to them. It might be dying, but it's still alive 500 years after it could have died, and that's thanks to you.
