[blinks, looks up. A wry smile]
It's kind of hard to lose something a second time when I never found it the first, you know.
[he goes back to looking away again.]
Eri's still angry at me for what I did to you, so she offered me a 'method' of getting back into her good graces. [sighs] The work has been endless. Even after I devote my time to repairs on the ship, I spend most of my break time tending to her needs. This is one of the few moments I'm allowed for myself. [looks back at Sora, his eyes conveying how close he is to breaking.] I don't know what she wants from me, Sora. She's got me on her leash, and I have no one to blame for that but myself. So what is it that she wants from me?
She wants reparations. She wants to work you to death, either through some sense of paying your debt to me, or to make her feel better about not being able to see the writing on the wall. I'll talk to her; I would rather she not be doing that.
You hurt me, Kamille. You know that. I know that. By now, most of the Chalice knows that. And it's colored how people are going to interact with you. I... [Sora pauses for a long moment; she starts to shake a little, whether she notices it or not.]
I want you to find happiness. Not with me, that's not on the table anymore, and it will be a long time before I can truly forgive you. But when you've had a little more time to find yourself, to figure out what you want from life... you will have my support. And I'll try and keep the others off your back when that time comes.
[She grins for a moment.] Not that all that addresses the original issue.
[Kamille smiles at her words, a genuine smile.] I appreciate it, Sora.
[Lies back.] I think when we hit land again, I'll go on a road trip. Try and discover what I want out of life. Who knows, maybe the break from the Chalice will help me find what I need. God knows that staying here isn't going to help any.
All people, with a few exceptions- [the name "Luger" come across verystrongly] -deserve to be happy. Whatever happened between you and me, it doesn't change that. That's the core belief I live by.
And if you want to take the "vacation", go right ahead. Maybe you'll learn something about yourself, or about the world. But... whatever happens, you have friends here, and people who care about you. Do not use this as an excuse to take undue risks in the name of self-discovery.
[Oh hey, there's a Sora behind you. When did that happen?]

... You want me to pick you up a souvenir? I promise I won't steal it this time.

And I think I'll be fine. Just... come back safe, if you go. It's a hard world out there.
