“Damn it!” Endymion didn’t just punch the wall: he put his hand through it.

“Sir, either get yourself together or find someone else capable of leading troops against the Dark Moon. You’ve made mistakes. We all have. You’re taking responsibility. Now learn from it and get over blaming yourself.”

“No one should have to suffer from me not saving them.”

“You can’t save everyone. You can’t take all the blame. Other people are responsible for themselves too and you can’t be selfish to inflate your own importance enough to take that away.”

The king brooded in an almost visible dark cloud. Setsuna felt her temper rise. ‘Alas poor Yorick, I knew him.’ But that wasn’t the way if Rei slapping him hadn’t gotten through before she’d frozen herself.

Ignoring protocol, she followed her heart and embraced her king. They’d been through enough together that she could do that. “I trust you. I believe in you. I believe in you as a king and a good man.” She kissed him, only on the cheek but all the same.

“Thank you. You always give such good advice, Setsuna. Serenity would want me to guide the ones who can end this with as little death as possible.”

“Yes,” she agreed despite his misunderstanding of what was in her heart. “She would.”

Oh, there's so much in this: Endymion's tendency to blame himself for absolutely EVERYTHING, Setsuna's frustration with him on both a personal and political level, Endymion's lack of emotional IQ...

I love the equation of Endymion with Hamlet now he doesn't have Serenity to push him into action!

I admit, someone else in what I was drawing this from compared Ichigo to Hamlet, but I claim being the one who started quoting. My friends are now running around using the holding out of the hand around an invisible skull as gesture-shorthand for emo.

I'm glad the flow of the conversation worked for you! ^-^
