When Nico saw Cyrene, he gave a shake of his head and said, "I'm sorry this occurred like that, but I truly wanted to assist in some way, boss, excuse me." Nico was apologetic for how things had turned out.
Cyrene, who was looking at him at the time, put his own hand on the boy's head before approaching him and saying, "This is not a game, Nico! The reality is that doing so puts you in a very precarious position..."
Nico gazed at her, and she replied, "I've already helped them once," with a touch of melancholy in her voice. Together with Emily, I conveyed the message to the fleet of republican ships. We are up to the challenge!
Cyrene gave him his attention. Seeing him face to face brought back memories of an earlier, more reckless and naive version of himself, who would get into any problem for the people he loved about, and this made it abundantly evident to him that Nico was not going to stop becoming involved in other people's lives.
