Three minutes was extremely long. For me, it was more that... I wanted Rosamund to end her own life if that's what she wanted to do. So I waited and waited...
[ Then she got knocked out by Nodd and Yuri can't blame him either. There's a wry smile on her face. ]
... I can't condemn one of the few people who have shown me the closest thing to unconditional support that I'll ever have.
[ Blade doesn't think he knows how that feels. With or without the memories of his past...or maybe, if he had them, he'd know for certain.
But, for Yuri, he can see it's starkly different. He had no idea that she cared so deeply for Rosamund. ]
So, it's your bond with her that has caused you this...distress.
[ Nothing he supposes he could've concluded correctly. Though, he's not bothered by it. He's used to falling short in understanding the bonds of others. ]
[ She says that quickly, because she thinks Blade would just tell her that the bond doesn't matter in the long run--that it only causes pain because that's what happens when you lose someone. ]
... It just means I'll learn how to handle it differently.
[ Diluc probably thought something like that. That he could handle her, despite the change in her condition.
Blade knows she has determination, resolve now; she has grown more powerful than ever. But he also recalls that bond killed Diluc, despite his own admirable steel resolve to live. ]
...If she ever turns on you, do not hesitate.
[ He rises back to his feet, looking at her, then nods with his head to indicate that he will be off, before going to do so. ]

[ Due to her affliction, he means. Blade does, in fact, think holding the bond between them can be a liability, for that very reason. ]
You say that you'll learn how to handle it differently...
But, can you?

[ She says without hesitation. ]
I told her everything that I wanted to say. What she does after that is up to her.

Yuri watches Blade on his way out, but quiet. There are no more words to be said. ]
