We've seen what happens when a session misses their chance, and this isn't it.
Giving up is the only way to absolutely guarantee we lose. If hope is all we have, then we shouldn't squander it.
[There's a pang of something like mourning when he says it. He'd said something similar to Beckett, a long time ago, when the vampire had been struggling with giving up, himself.
He hadn't had a chance to say anything last time, and he'd just...slipped away, into the beast. Thinking too hard about it, it almost makes him feel like he should think of giving up too. But he's not gone, is he?

If we lose hope, we lose the ability to help them, and one another, and consequently ourselves.
[Giving up is the only way to absolutely guarantee we lose.
That really hits home. As cynical as he was, as hopeless as he was, the thought of this place winning was even worse.]
This is shaping up to be quite the session. [That's said dryly.] Maybe the system just likes us.
I...want to hope. [It's reluctantly said.] But I've been disappointed so many times. There's nothing to go on except just...what we think might happen.
I know. But holding on to whatever hope we can is the least we can do. Even if it doesn't look like it, even if the only hope is to survive to the next day.
Hold on. It's all anyone can ask of you - hold on, and try to help others do so when you can.
