[ He's just saying so now because it looked like she was about to have a panic attack, which he thinks he might have...caused. He could've been wrong, but he's not about to leave that up to speculation. Better to assume erroneously than to not. ]
Just remember I'm here and that it's just us, just our voices right now--here you can hold onto my hand if you'd like.
[ But seriously...just when he thinks it can't get any worse, it does. This sounds like something Master Eraqus would be able to handle--in regards to the curse. Maybe Aqua too.
...Yes, he's trying to think of ways to solve it, even though they're stuck here and there's no guarantee what may happen.
For the record, he's held out his hand, if she still isn't clutching onto his forearm. ]
It's--I can't even say that it 'sounds' like a lot, because it's more than that. But just remember we're here and not there right now.
[ An outstretched hand is probably the best thing he can do to help Rebecca calm down right now. She takes it, squeezes it so tight, tighter than she should be able to. She can't help but voice it, though, her fear, that...with a trembling voice: ] But what if-- what if I go back there?
[ She fears for her friends, it's true; but the memory of being there overwhelms her, so much so that she's paralyzed with fear. Witnessing yet another death today, of someone close to her, just hammered home the fact that...none of them are safe. ]
[ Terra can deal with something like that, but he definitely notes the force behind it. It's why he brings his other hand to rest on hers as well, in an attempt to help continue to calm her down, if nothing else. ]
I won't let you go there alone, and I'd take you away from there. But even if things got ugly...
[ ... ]
There's a way...to travel in between worlds. If at the end of this, we leave, I should regain my Keyblade and my original abilities, I can not only help you get away or stay away from there, but I'd be able to get the help of Master Eraqus. He's powerful and with the kind of abilities he'd have, he'd be able to do something about the curse. Trust me on this.
I'm sure you won't die here--you're not the type of person who'd go out at night, wandering by yourself. And you have all of us [ Friends, and such-- ] with you. And you know that I'll be definitely looking out for you.
You'll make it through all of this--we all will. I'm sure of it.
[ Terra would never forgive himself if he let something happened to her. And though he knows the fate of them all is uncertain, he has to spread a little hope...or try to. ]
[ She falters for a moment. Her voice breaks, as she says: ]
Connor... He promised me... He promised h-he'd be here...tomorrow too. He swore to me. He's not- he wasn't the type to- to break a promise. He wasn't the t- to do that, a-and yet...
He knows she's right and he hates it. He can't just imagine what it'd be like if he lost her too. Was he being selfish? He just wanted the people he cared about to be safe, and he didn't want anymore people to die! Why can't something like that be guaranteed? Why can't-- ]
...I don't know, Rebecca.
At this point, all we have is our faith, and maybe right now that's just going to have to be good enough.
[ ... ]
And maybe I'm just not willing to accept any situation where you'd die...and end up like that again.

But though she clutches his hands with her slender one, she bites down on her lip, still worried. ]
But... I-if... If I die here... What if, I just... What if my- my spirit goes right...back to that house...?

I'm...scared, Terra. I'm...so scared I don't know what to do about it.
But I... I'm going to believe in that...as best I can.
