[Whether she believes him or not is uncertain, but Subaru doesn't seem to be lying as far as Jade can perceive. She grimaces, before looking out at the sea.

[The scene would almost be peaceful if not for the eternal sunset that never seemed to get any darker or lighter no matter how much time has passed. Jade had thought it was strange the first time she was here, after spending days, maybe weeks in Silvergrove... She hadn't really been paying much attention to the passage of time back then. Things hadn't ended well with her companions the last time she spoke with them, her mission with the Rhalâta had gone tits up, and Enderal was on the brink of war, being invaded by her former countrymen. Could anyone have really blamed her for wanting a break from her responsibilities? For having a moment of weakness?

[Can anyone blame her for it now?]

Others will. They always do. [Jade finally rips from her thoughts, casting a sidelong glance at Suberu from her one good eye.] Everyone's gonna have their own opinion on these worlds. What makes them worth a damn, whether they're real or not, that it's pointless.

[Of course, Jade doesn't think it matters what's real and what isn't. Even if she can't save Rynéus in this Eventuality, she can at least make sure he's happy. That he's in safe hands with Alice.]
