This guy has been through a living nightmare but he is still doing his best to put on a brave face, his little quip is charming and even in the face of all this uncertainty, she feels a small semblance of peace. He is owed more than her life but her sanity as well, there is no way Yoimiya would have been able to make it out on her own.

His promise fills her heart with relief, stoking the flames of her determination to become stronger. She can't rely on Ajax all thr time, the two of them need to work together if they want to get through this. ]

I believe in you, I know you will become a strong knight who will rise up and slay anything that stands in the way. I promise to get stronger as well, I'll do whatever it takes to master my abilities.

[ It's the least she can do for both of their sakes. If these marks are the key to their survival then Yoimiya is prepared to use them to their advantage. ]

I'm still a little wary of your job but... I think I can trust you to have my back. I can tell you aren't about to put me I danger. And as it stands, there's no denying we need each other in order to survive.

[ A big turnaround from her firey demeanor at the hospital. His job will always be in the back of her mind but with everything they have been through, Ajax has already proven himself to be her companion in arms. ]
