The \\\"All love is unrequited\\\" bit seems to be a poor reading of the scene. Not that they\\\'re all happy at the end (they ARE pretty drained), but that scene is much longer and hits several notes, and Triela doesn\\\'t seemed drained by the \\\"other woman\\\" so much as she\\\'s put all her cards on the table.

A quick summation of the scene (the whole thing happens at the outdoor range).

Victor asks Triela what she thinks of (post reset) Henrietta.

Triela: (Paraphrased) Well it\\\'s pretty spooky to see that we cyborgs are held together by black magic.. By the way, if I get that bad, I don\\\'t want any heroic measures.

Victor: Is that your will?

Triela: Yes..

Cut back to Triela, looking a little awkward.
We haven\\\'t talked about this, but I know you\\\'re only here for me. After I\\\'m gone..

Victor looks distinctly uncomfortable. \\\"Triela..\\\"

Triela jumps subjects. Oh yeah, you got back from Naples the day before yesterday, how is Roberta?

Victor (startled, regaining composure): Same as always.

Triela looks up at him, smiling slyly (she knows! a nicer version of catching out Mario back in chapter 3). She\\\'s a good person, treat her right [lit. you, give her happiness] (who\\\'s the parent here?).

Triela \\\"Before the battle, it was good to see her wasn\\\'t it.\\\" (no explicit subject, but the construction points to Roberta).

Victor \\\"Yes, it was good to see her.\\\"

They\\\'re drained in the last panel, but mostly because they\\\'ve put most of their cards on the table (We don\\\'t know what Victor\\\'s letter to Roberta said).



And we still don\\\'t know how this is going to shake out because they\\\'ve been cornered for the last 5 months (Triela is the \\\"story\\\" character, not the \\\"plot\\\" one).
