[At the tears she's quick to bend down and lightly touch the girl's shoulder. There's no "it's fine" because that would be belittling what happened, but no "don't cry" either because that would be belittling HIbiki's emotions. And really... Alfor was a man who deserved those tears.]
I wouldn't have shared it with you if I didn't want to, Hibiki. And I wanted you to know you have someone who understands that pain, someone whom you can talk to about more if you ever need to.

Not physically like with his ghost anymore, or in the way your master's with you. But I still have memories of him, and the lessons he gave me. And the paladins and I are making sure his dream of a free and peaceful universe can stay alive back in our world.

So... I'm okay.

[Somehow... that answer doesn't quite seem to satisfy her. But she's also loathe to imagine having to live without her Master in any context, so...]
...I'm glad, at least. That... you're okay.
[She wouldn't, couldn't be. The thought of living without her Master is so wholly unwelcome, she can hardly even conceive of it.]
