Just between you and me, I was terrified when I first staked my claim as my grandfather's heir. I had no idea what I was getting into, not really. But I did it anyway, because it was what I felt I needed to do.
I hope it's the same for you. That you'll find a path you'll do anything to walk, no matter how daunting it is. If anyone's capable of that kind of resolve, it's you.
You flatter me. I'm quite lacking in resolve, you know.
[When having to make his own long-term decisions, that is. Sothis always told him he was too cautious, too hesitant, and that he needed to be more decisive like her: "just act!" she would sigh, and get annoyed when Byleth would just shrug at her helplessly.]
It took me too long to confront you about your secretiveness, for example. I was worried I'd offend you and ruin things, so I made excuses and avoided it. In truth, I wasn't acting any better than you.
[Byleth had always been better at bluntly laying out his flaws and failures than directly discussing his emotions, as confusing as they could be, so he just focused on that instead. His flaw was his hesitation, and his failure was letting it dictate his behaviour, therefore he needed to improve his resolve and emotional fortitude... somehow.]
