[It was almost like speaking to an alien. Byleth struggled to understand his point of view.]

You're not a king here, Dimitri. You're just another person.

[If Dimitri was so inclined, he could find a cabin in the woods and live as a hermit for the rest of his days, and in Byleth's eyes, that was perfectly fine. Dimitri didn't have to do anything, he didn't have to destroy himself trying to protect everyone with a power born from a Crest stolen by his ancestors. There was no unwritten rule that a human must achieve 'x' amount of selflessness to deserve to live in happiness - just by virtue of being alive did Dimitri deserve that.]

You have no responsibility to anyone here. And- [he added before Dimitri could speak.] -if you disagree with that, then your responsibility is to those who are left behind in Fódlan. They'll want to see you again, hale and whole.

[...]

Your Byleth will want to see you again. The one you truly care for.
