...Yeah. Yeah, I...I know. That's - what I'm the best at, I think. Even if I'm not as great as everyone else...I at least know how to handle something like this, right?

[Romani had said he was strong, coming back from something that would have broken most people three times over. And, maybe he's right. Even if Battler won't recognize it, he has a core of iron - something that refuses to give in, no matter how much he is pushed down and destroyed.

His belief, the hope that things will get better...though it may falter at times, it never truly goes away. And hearing Romani, someone he's known for such a small amount of time but already trusts so much, keep affirming that he's needed, that they all need to fight against even a bleak situation...

'...What am I doing, pitying myself?
I said I'd be there to support him, but instead...I'm just relying on him again.
...No, I...I have to stop.
I have to stand on my own feet, and face this, even if it hurts...even if I'm afraid...!']
