But it's not about danger for me, not exactly. I'm pretty confident in our ability to carry it off. But. . . you know, fighting against someone who is attacking you, putting you in danger, fighting back. . . that's a very different thing than hunting someone down with a friendly face and executing them.

[He nods, relieved. He thinks Yamato is capable enough, but hunting down someone like Byleth or Otome, let alone Luxanna. . . ]
