[ This is getting quite heated, and though Break's attention had quickly focused on Rhys as soon as he started to leave, he hadn't done anything. But by the time Rhys asks his questions, he starts to walk closer. Truth be told, he'd very much like to know the answers to those questions himself, but he doesn't think Miata's response here is going to make Rhys feel any better. After all, it wouldn't do so for him if he didn't have something to focus his efforts on.
He's still not sure if he can trust Miata, though that's just his own personality. But he is more certain with tonight that she's just a young lady doing her best. That's why he speaks up to intervene, because even if there's nothing wrong with that at all, and even if he can objectively understand the empathy behind Miata's explanation, he doesn't feel it himself. He doesn't feel a damn thing, because it's not truly his problem or his concern in the slightest, and he knows Rhys well enough now (or so he'd like to think), that he can guess that Rhys is lacking the same empathy.
So, if you can't care for this explanation, then he has to reminds Rhys of a reason to care. It's that simple, because that's all it amounted to for himself. ]
Rhys— Regardless of all of this, remember that it's not just you that you're fighting to save here. I don't even mean anyone else you've met, because so far as I'm concerned, you have no reason to care about us at all. If there's one person you wish to protect, even yourself, then you have to be cruel enough to discard everyone else.
[ Which... Is not the best start to a shonen speech, but he's getting to his point. ]
But it's not just yourself. I heard the way you were worried about that woman, Fiona. She's still here. [ He motions generally, and though it is technically in the direction of the chapel, obviously it's just idle. ] She's still in that chapel with everyone else. I don't think you're selfish enough to leave her behind and let her get killed by whatever Katerina is planning to do to them. If I'm wrong, then so be it, but I don't think I am. Save her, if no one else.
