[ She really meant it when she said she can't remember the last time anyone was this concerned about her. Thing is, she doesn't like it when people are worried about her, because she's supposed to be strong and confident and indestructible. And she is (two of those things), but she is human, and this serves as a reminder. ]

I definitely won't! Those nightmares aren't getting the best of me ever again.

[ Probably. She's got her usual bravado back when she says it, but then she becomes solemn: ]

You don't deserve any of what happened to you, Shiro. Not gonna lie, when I heard about it, I was pretty pissed off for you. I know you don't wanna talk about it, but--it just makes me so mad! [ huffs ] Bad things shouldn't happen to good people.

[briefly, there's a sadness that settles on the way he looks at her; she's definitely angry on his behalf, and he's not wanted to burden anyone with his own miseries. it's heartwarming, but he wishes she wouldn't have to grow so concerned about it.]

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

[unwavering strength, even if his words tend to condemn more than necessary.]

--and bad things still happen. It's how we move forward from that point what defines what makes or breaks us.

But I do get what you mean. I wish you knew how much I appreciate your words, D.va.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[ Somehow, in the face of everything that's happened, Shiro still manages to stay strong. And D.Va doesn't see it as a burden at all; rather, she's pretty honored he shared something like that with her. And as she said before, she's got his back, just like he has hers. ]

And I appreciate yours, too! Being a hero's a lot tougher than people think, so we gotta stick together. I mean...you know I have your back, too, right?
