[The right person for her...? Byleth felt a brief flutter of confusion at that specific wording, but didn't pursue it. He was already amazed that Claude had willingly told him all of this without brushing him off or changing the subject to something utterly unrelated. He did wonder at the change, but he just finished off his middle finger and moved onto his ring finger.]

I'm sorry that you may've potentially lost a friend, Claude. I hope you two are able to reconcile in the future, but that decision lies solely with Hayame. I'll ensure she remains in good health as she works things through.

[Since they've managed to build an okayish rapport??? They weren't friends, but he had bumped her up from 'obligatory ally' to 'ally', which was a big leap in his mind.]

Do you... want me to pass a message along? If she's not speaking to you currently, you likely haven't apologised or reached out to her, yes?
