[Even as she wipes his tears, like she's trying to stop more from appearing, it almost has an opposite effect just from how caring and gentle she's being with him. He doesn't want her to stop though and Scott's past his pride about crying in the first place.
He's about ready to promise her anything and it's not like her request is surprising or something that he doesn't plan on doing, but it's still hard. He knows he has to move on at some point, even though Kotone disappearing-- essentially dying is what the implication will be when she's gone from Aldrip. It's not just a return home like for him and the others, it's a death sentence for her. It's still incredibly unfair, despite her strength in facing and accepting it.]
I promise.
[He weakly says, almost sounding like he's saying that to please her, but... he still means it. It will be so, so hard to move on when she's gone, but he can't stay in his room forever. Maybe he'd try harder to find a way back home at that point, or if he can go to Kotone's world... something that he's considered once Ken mentioned that she might not be fully gone back in her world. But all that is so questionable, he doesn't want to bring it up. Scott can almost see Kotone being upset about it too.
Definitely not the point in what they're dealing with right now. Whether or not he can really help her, he has to keep living.] I'll live, for you. Even though I'll miss you every day.
