[Wow that's just fuckin' sad. Soldat knows Bruce lives with a handful of other people at that museum-- Riku and Vanitas, they're pretty sure. Neither of them? (Unless he's not telling the truth. Well, all right, there is that. It was very personal. Handler. Oh no, don't even go there, Asset. No. Ever get the feeling it's rolling its eyes at you? I'm pretty sure it doesn't know how.)]

Thank you

[And, well, taking that at face value, they feel the need to add:]

I hope you find someone. Nobody should be alone.

You don't need to thank me.

[It isn't quite like either of those things, but instead- Bruce has already died with someone else. It wasn't a comfort, it was agonizing. He understands the comfort that might come from leaving a life behind if it means doing so with someone you care for, going into the unknown together instead of alone.

But he doesn't think he'll ever find personal solace in it.]

Besides, I'm not alone.
None of us are.

[And here's the disconnect: Soldat wasn't thinking of this in terms of death, but in terms of "person to always be with", because to them, there is no unknown. A final death just means... ending. And there's honestly no way they would suggest Misty (or anyone) reach that end just because they do. No way.]

Some people seem to think they are. Just making sure you aren't one
