[It's so much to take in. Almost too much. But Schwann takes it all, remaining resolute through the whole thing. If Alexei never told him about any of this until now, then he can guess just what this ancient weapon is going to do. It's horrifying, simply put, and he can see why he was kept in the dark.
It takes everything in his power to not let his emotions show through. Doing so would go back on everything that he just promised to Alexei mere moments ago. With everything that he's learned tonight, he can't be surprised that Alexei has felt driven to such lengths. If he's going to stay by Alexei, he is going to have to aid him in handling whatever is to come next.
He lets out the breath that he hadn't realized he was holding in.]

[He reaches through the bars- for Alexei's hand.]
Then I stand by what I said. Please, Alexei. Allow me to bear this responsibility with you.
