Ah... It hits Schwann a bit strangely to hear Alexei actually say that aloud. His eyes widen slightly, and he has to likewise take a moment to collect himself.]
For the same reason I want to stay by your side.
[Though Alexei won't look at him, Schwann keeps his eyes level on him.]
For so long, I closed myself off just as you had. I let myself sit in my misery and refused to open my eyes to the merits of what you had given me. I refused to let myself consider that you actually cared for me beyond what I could offer you as a tool, and I was content to just let that continue until I died.
You've done something horrible to me- that I won't ignore. But...I also wouldn't be here now if you hadn't. I wouldn't have met the Don, or Brave Vesperia, I would never have gone through this experience with you, Yeager and the others.
[He sighs and shakes his head.]
I just... I just want to. I've let myself want for nothing for ten years, Alexei. Please, just let me offer you something with my own will.
