[To Lance, Shiro is as close to invincible as they come. Shiro has always been this miraculous wonder, who's gone through so much himself and bounced back so strongly he's able to raise four ridiculous kids from their own strange and varying walks of life. He's never let himself get down for too long, and no matter what the odds, he's always been able to power through it all.

So, this mistake? Lance is extremely loyal to his family, despite all of their shouting matches and door slamming and pranks, and he wouldn't trade any of them for the world. Especially not Shiro, who he thinks wouldn't even be able to make a mistake so badly he couldn't be forgiven. There's no way. Shiro isn't perfect, not by any means, but he's a genuine person, and one so earnest and strong he can't destroy Lance's faith in him unless he literally stopped being the person he was. But that was Shiro's point, wasn't it?

Lance has to blink back the watery fog that's been gathering in his eyes as he looks at Shiro.]

You can't make a mistake that big. It's kind of impossible, you know? But... I get it. I just... I'm not as awesome as you are. I might make that mistake, and one day you'll just... It's stupid.
