As much as I wish "have to" was a bygone possibility, that's a level-headed approach. I feel the same. I detest violence, especially when it's unnecessary...
[She stretches out on the other loveseat, her movements graceful, and glances to the clock on the wall.]
You care so much for others, Nozomi, but someone must remind you every now and then to care for yourself.
Darling, you're brave...and I know I asked you to be. I think, without your help and quick thinking, all six of you might not have returned yesterday.
[Seymour did say that Nozomi was the one who patched him up with their supplies. Cantarella assumes she had a hand in keeping all of them together in one way or another.]
Thank you for looking out for them. [She shakes the losenge bag.] And me. Now, relax, and I can watch over you.
[ She doesn't look entirely convinced, but she also doesn't have it in her to argue.
It's terrifying to lose people, to fight. At least she could help somebody a little bit before they came back.
There's a soft appriciative look as Cantarella says she'll watch over her. If she brushes her sleeve over her eyes maybe it's because she's tearing up, or maybe it's because something got in them. ]
Thank you.
[ Said so genuinely. ]
quick question has this girl ever heard of a self-esteem
[Cantarella lets Nozomi look away without interfering, simply folding her hands together over her lap.]
Save your thanks for when I have something to show for it. In the meantime...if it helps to get anything off your chest, you always have a place to share it. Remember what I said about our room. ... Though, it's always possible a researcher will overhear.
You don't need to do sing. [ She heard how Cantarella sounded, the idea of making somebody sing with a sore throat is so mean she can't even entertain it. ]
I'll remember. [ Maybe one day, she will share the burdens of her heart, but... maybe not right now. ]
Please look after me tonight.
[ She can't imagine asking for more at the moment. ]

... I don't like fighting, but I'll do it if I have to.

[ One day, maybe they won't need to fight anymore. That would be nice- if it's even possible. ]
But... everybody is doing what they need to. I can't do nothing.

If you prefer, I can also just provide a lullaby.

[She recognizes that it's currently weakened.]
Very well, then. [Though she hopes tonight will not prove a pattern...She'll try to at least stay awake until Nozomi falls asleep.
