[Soma smiles, just a little, at Kevin's little speech.] That's why I said it's our last resort.
[As a man whose previous life was spent, by and large, fighting against a God, it might come as some surprise that Soma does in fact have faith in some of them. And right now? He's choosing to have faith in Hanyuu. Pray for the best - prepare for the worst.]
[But Hanyuu isn't the only one putting their neck on the line right now. In this heightened state of awareness, he can sense Tau's strength begin to ebb. That certainly will not do - he takes a phial of glowing red liquid from his pocket and offers it to her.]
Here - it's not quite as effective as those candies, but it also doesn't have their side effects. Hang in there. We'll see this through yet.
[And finally, he turns his attention to the spirit.] If you lack strength, I can give it to you. I offer it willingly and freely, and the only thing I ask in return is that you believe. Both in yourself, and in us. We will make this right.
