[Rin scowls as he starts undoing the buttons on the jacket.]

... Satan is basically the king of Gehenna.

[So he kind of already is a prince, so to speak?]

When... when I lost control in front of my classmates I was outed to the entire Order. I got dragged in front of the Gregori to stand trial. I woulda been executed if not for Mephisto, but the way he "saved" me [air quotes included] was by makin' a bet with them.

Was I gonna be the "savior of Assiah" or a "demon king of Gehenna". Worse still... I only had a half a year to prove myself, and if I failed my exorcist exam I was gonna be executed.

[...damn it. She really stepped on a landmine there.

He's going to find it hard to keep undoing the buttons in a second because she reaches out to hug him.]

You shouldn't have to deal with that bullshit. You're your own person! Who gives a crap who your dad is?

[But god...she understood. If someone had told her to be a 'queen' she'd probably react the same way.]

[Erf.]

I know I am, but they didn't see me that way...

[He was defiant at the time, but it ate at him, knowing that there were still people who would only ever see "the son of Satan".]

Well, they should! [They should...but she knows some of them probably never will.] People who think they can tell you who you are or who you should be...they're the worst.

[His friends did eventually come to terms with it, but plenty haven't and likely never will.]

Yeah. I know. I'm just-- ... what if somethin' happens that I can't control later? I acted like I was more pissed about bein' judged, but really... it still worries me.

[She understands that so well it's painful.]

I get it. [It's easier to admit because he already knew about that future of hers, the one where she becomes the Queen of Catastrophe.] But even so...people can become anything and go anywhere. As long as you don't give up, I'm sure...you can create a better future.

I'm... tryin'.

[As he's mentioned before, things are very uncertain back home. Whatever Yukio is doing, Rin has a sinking feeling it won't end well for either of them.]

I did enough to convince them not to execute me at least, even if I don't pass my exam.

[...well. Since Shiho planned to figure out how to cross universes to kick a goddess' ass, she thinks they can take a trip to kick the ass of all these people who are threatening Rin.

She pulls back to frame his face between her hands.]

You can do it. They'll be so embarrassed they ever doubted you because you're going to prove them all wrong.

[She says it very firmly. Because she believes in him.]

[Please, please come and kick Mephisto's teeth in. Rin would find it glorious.]

I want to. I really, really do.

[He has his doubts after what happened with Yukio, but somehow, someway, he would prove that he wasn't going to become what they thought he would.]

There's no such thing as a despair that can't be overcome or a future that can't be changed.

[She smiles at him with every ounce of belief and determination she can muster. Which is a lot because...]

If anyone can do it, it's you.

[The same vote of confidence he'd given her.]
