Then you should hold onto hope, Sikes-san... if you give that up, then everything you've done would have been for nothing.
( it's a mantra to him, it's a way of life, and a concept that people tend to forget when they're in their feelings. there's no way to turn back time or to avoid what had happened, but in a way she's somewhat free from that old life, and here she can start anew. her body burned to ashes, and like a phoenix she can rise and proceed with a life more comfortable without fretting over what she's done and hasn't done. )
...Ah, hope is something really special, you know people that come here has something waiting for them. So you shouldn't give up or break down...
( tears are always difficult to deal with, especially when he doesn't know how to cry himself. it's been years since the last time he shed any, he was about seventeen...? those days seem so distant, and he tries not to think about them when she's too busy filling that gap at the moment.
he laughs gently, before turning around to pluck a few tissues from a box nearby. he holds them out for nancy to take once she realizes they were there. maybe once her tears aren't visible, he won't feel awkward for making her cry anymore... )
Now Bill's hope has to be strong enough to face those future perils, it'll be difficult without you because you had kept everything running perfectly.
