... I don't know. I'm afraid of dying. It's why I've held out this long. But Camille died and was able to come back... and yet, I don't know if that will work again. And if you try to kill me, the monster will defend itself. I'm afraid of that.
The other option is to lock me up overnight... but without telling me where or how beforehand.
The problem with the Camille route too is that.... we don't have any guarantee that she can't get re-afflicted. Or she could get murdered. The last thing I want is for you to go through that, and then have one of those things happen.
You don't want to die, though, right? No matter what, you want to stay?
That's what I thought. I don't know anymore. What's... possible, or what's right.

You've been a good friend, and I've been a terrible one to you. If I can, I want to stay with you. I know that's very selfish.

Anything is possible here, and... nothing is right. That's what I've learned. We just... keep going. Like always. Three more weeks.
[ at least now yuffie knows ]
Yeah? Well, that's cool with me, Kate. I want you to stay too. Really want you to stay. I'm really tired of being left behind.
