Clementine swallows and looks up at him when he nudges her chin. Her near yellow eyes fill with tears as she watches his face and then nods as if saying it makes it so, as if saying it will make it real. Then she folds herself against his side. A very long time ago, Lee promised Clementine that he would never leave her. The promise ended up being untrue, but it's what she needed to hear at the time, and she thinks back on that memory over and over again after she lost him.
Klaus now promises her it will be all right.
She believes him because she needs to hear it right now.
Whether or not it ends up being true, she believes him.
