[Phil is quiet for once The way he's talking, and the bite mark on his neck, Phil could guess that this story didn't have a happy ending.
He supposed he could relate to that.
Eventually he gently grasps Alfred's shoulder, feeling a bit out of his depth in helping this poor kid, but knowing he can't just leave.]
So you tried your hardest and you failed. It really fucking sucks but you still tried, didn't you? You risked your life to save someone you cared about.
Look, I'm not going to harp on how my life before Ryslig was "hell on earth" or "a living nightmare", but I understand feeling that no matter how hard you try, everything blows up in your face.
[He offers him a small smile.]
And if you ask me, dying trying to save someone's life is a lot more badass than anything I ever did.
