May I ask who the hay is Kratos or... That thing?
It’s Krastos, and he’s my boyfriend.
At least I hope he still is…
Thank you for staying with Krastos, Lyra. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask.
Actually… And I feel horrible about this…
I need to get home so I can take Sweetie in to school tomorrow. Could you stay with Bos- I mean Krastos?
I’m not leaving yet… I can’t after what I just… What I just said. But I don’t want him to be left alone tonight.
And I don't want anything to happen to you... I love you Lyra, and I want to be with you... Forever.
I…
…
Love… is a difficult thing for me… I’ve been through such horrible things… Ponies that seemed just as benign as you… Ponies that I loved…
I’m not saying I think you would ever hurt me. That’s not it at all!
…
I know I’m capable of loving you. But I can’t lie to you, Boscov. It’s just… Not there yet…
I’m… I’m sorry…
I'm not sure whether or not I should tell you to stop beating yourself up. On one hand, blaming yourself on things will fill your life with guilt. On the other hand, it certainly shows you're not some horrid person with an oversized ego. What I'm trying to say is that you're noble enough.
I’m not noble; I’m just all too aware of my own limitations.
You're not selfish. We're all just trying to live our lives to the best of our abilities, even if they're aren't as good as we wish... And if anything, I'm the selfish one for just standing still when that gun was pulled out on me. I was willing to spread sorrow to others by dying all just so I wouldn't be violent.
I don’t know, Boscov. I just don’t want anything to happen to you.
Lyra... Thank you for being here with me..
Thank you for being here with me.
I don’t even see you that much… I’m a horrible fillyfriend… But just knowing you’re around makes things so much easier on me.
Sorry I’m so selfish…

The Wishing Stone believes that it is possible to use my wish to heal Krastos. I don’t know Krastos as well as you do, and I can’t exactly ask him myself. Do you think Krastos would agree with that?
I don’t think he would, to be honest. I think he’d rather it be used to help others.
The doctors say he’ll get better. It’ll just take some time.
I didn't know this was supposed to be a sad occasion.
AnonymousIt’s not; I’m just afraid.
I’ve watched a lot of ponies slip away. I just don’t want it to happen again.
Don’t believe him, Lyra; that Anon is just offering you a Very Fortuitous Distraction.
I don’t get it.
Capitalized letters for a reason, I assume.
I'm sorry... I've failed you as a friend... I failed to comfort you... I'm a bad friend...
We can’t always be there ever hour of the day. I know you care. I don’t even need to hear it from you to know you care.
We’ve been transferred to the hospital in Canterlot.
In short order they’ve confirmed that Krastos will be alright; which is good, because I’m exhausted.
Professor, I had no idea you were so were so willing to sacrifice yourself, in however small a part, on my behalf. I am in your debt. You need not hesitate to ask, and if I’m capable I will comply.
I’m going to sleep in the waiting room… After I send a message to Sweetie Belle.
My mass teleportation spell doesn't cause any shifts in momentum, so our friend will be safe. I'll be waiting by the emergency entrance for the hospital when you are ready. As for the dates- there's always a price, but it is rarely monetary. Putting up with a few dates is noting compared to a life. Oh, and a complete derp moment; normal medical knowledge for non-ponies is rare for a normal medical practitioner, but you know who does have it? A biologist.
You clever mare, you.
I’m headed back to the hospital now.
