"You want to avenge Mom, don't you?"
"... Nelphy. That's something your mom and I talked about. I won't–"
"You want to avenge her, don't you!?"
Startled to hear Nelphy shout, Bil cupped her cheek in his hand. "I understand why you're mad. So am I. But your Mom… asked for us to live in peace. To not let revenge control us… It's hard. VERY hard… But that was one of her dying wishes. To not live for her. To live for ourselves."
Explosive anger resonated through Nelphy's sobs. "B-but! After hearing this… How can I–"
"At the very least, you shouldn't worry about avenging her." Bil leaned forward and kissed Nelphy's forehead. "Please, don't fixate on that. That's the last thing Mom would want."
"O-okay… I'll. I won't…"
Hugging her, Bil whispered, "Sweetie, I understand this pain you feel. I'll carry that pain for you. You don't need to bear it, at least not alone… This is another reason we can't tell Jash. You know, just as well as I do, what he would do, don't you?"
