To be honest, Reiger was quite troubled by Melusine's current situation.
It's not like he hadn't tried to persuade her, but it had no effect.
Of course, even Pasival, who was as close as a brother, failed to persuade her. How could an outsider, who isn't particularly close and has often been in opposition to her, hope to be effective?
Especially since Aurora was sent away by him personally, with her soul scattered like ashes on the spot. Reiger didn't choose to hide this from Melusine, so she knows about it.
Under such circumstances, it's already considerate of her not to hold him as the enemy who killed her beloved, but instead to become melancholic and despondent.
But... can things really stay like this?
Seeing Melusine about to confront yet another approaching abyss creature, Reiger stopped her.
"What's on your mind right now?" Reiger said with some helplessness, "Are you really planning to go on like this forever?"
