That's it? You're just giving up?

[Though if Claude were to be honest, with both himself and Byleth, for once... He moves to sit next to Byleth, letting out a sigh.]

To be honest, I'm stumped too. I keep wondering if this whole situation is just a set up by Aetós. Maybe the otter was in on it? [He laughs, though it has a forced quality to it. ] Honestly, even if that unlikely possibility were true, I don't know what our options are.
