[ it doesn't sound insane. at least not to anders. ]
I think perhaps you are still needed here.

if there's anything that can talk yves out of something reckless, it is appealing just enough to his sense of obligation to others

I imagine we will rely on you in the coming days. I am sorry that you must bear that weight.

yves's brow furrows in thought briefly, but eventually he will just exhale in one big sigh, closing his eyes. ]
... if people need me, I'll be here. For as long as I can.
[ even if he wants to be somewhere else - wherever adolphe's gone. he will try to be patient, even if his heart is so full of sorrow. ]

Whoever has done it, we will make sure they will never take anyone like Adolphe ever again.
