[Frieda doesn't take joy in arguing with Hanako, but turning a blind eye to the matter is something she could hardly forgive herself if he and Yashiro ended up overwhelmed by wraiths and suffered grave injuries and memory losses or, worse, didn't rejoin the group at the end of the Crossing.

The evident fondness in his gaze and voice as he speaks of Yashiro saddens her. He hasn't accepted it yet, has he? When she responds, her voice has lost the cool tinge it had a moment ago.]


We will look out for her, should anything happen to you. I give you my word that I will. But I feel like you haven't accepted the purpose of this journey. Relinquishing our memories one by one is the very point of our presence here. Denying the toll means to defy our destiny - a destiny that is inevitable.

[Despite saying that, there's hesitation in her. Until recently, she'd convinced herself that a blank wraith state, ready to get a new life written into it, would be the outcome for all of them... but the Ferryman's words to her implied otherwise, didn't they? "You'll still be you, no matter what."]
