❀ wonders never cease ❀

In fact, it's so fluffy and wholesome that you almost forget that Ralsei literally just... walked through what the game defines as a solid wall. Directly in front of the player. For the 2nd time.

if a happy ending does exist somehow… it’s with you, kris.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　my happy ending is with you too.

This suggests, on some level, that he knows that Kris's motivations aren't as straightforward as they might initially appear.

But the absolute crucial thing about this entire exchange, which I feel is the strongest example of his gentleness and patience with them, is when, even when he doesn't have the whole picture, even considering how bad it COULD be, Ralsei still chooses to believe in and trust Kris to do the right thing. He doesn't admonish, he doesn't cast judgment, he doesn't moralise or transactionalise - he simply gives them space to be... Kris.

It's the most current throughline of his treatment of them from the very start of their time together, where he lets them act out, or make mistakes, and responds with as much grace and understanding as he can muster. To somebody like Kris, caught in so many different webs and designs that aren't entirely their own, Ralsei's words and behaviours towards them must feel like a sanctuary.
