Minfilia's voice brings with it a flood of relief Cecil mostly expected, but did not dare hope for. Yet her actual words cut it short.

"That... truly is a terribly cruel curse, when that future has a known end. This may be little comfort, but... knowing what's coming, we can at least ensure that every moment of your stay in this world is wonderful."

The words sound far too much like what would be said to someone gravely ill, but any other promise is beyond his power, be it in a world of crystals or a world of wondrous creatures.
