But if we tell her, she'll definitely try to go home. To "save" everyone. She was already planning that when I talked to her before you showed up.
[He levels a serious expression at Shuichi, sitting up again.]
Even when I explained that we were dead, she didn't seem convinced. The only thing that stopped her from really pushing the point I think was that I mentioned you were still fighting. But you failed to grant her wish...I think she'd try and go back, no matter what we said. She's too set on that stupid wish of hers.
[Because she's selfish, like he told you.]
It shouldn't be hard to convince her that anyone saying they aren't dead yet is just...not willing to accept it. And it'd be polite to let these people dream that they're still alive, because some people can't handle that kind of truth.
[Just convince her that they're lying to themselves. He's sure he can do it, because he lies to himself all the time.]
And if you're worried about her trust in you, then I'll lie to her myself. I'm used to it, and I can handle it if she stops trusting what I say. But I don't want her going back either...
