It's good to feel a determination to survive coming from the beast, but it's also a response that only worsens his fears over how Estinien will be once he comes out of this. It's manner of speech is somewhat reminiscent of that distant, distracted manner that had frightened him so badly to hear coming from Estinien's lips, back in the immediate aftermath of Venera.

The Pleroma are facing near impossible odds here, and the Sanctifier helps level the playing field... But did the Innocence HAVE to use Estinien as a vessel for this..? If Ryunosuke could have volunteered himself instead, he might have.

He just doesn't want to lose the man he's come to respect and care for so deeply.

You are Estinien Wyrmblood, Ryunosuke thinks at him emphatically, very specifically trying to address the dragoon, wherever he may be in the mix. Even now, while you are a part of something bigger--

(much, much bigger,)

--I pray that you don't forget that.
