["Keep going forward"....goodness knows she's heard it often enough from him, and said it often enough but there's merit to pausing every now and then, taking things easy.]

Too much concern can be a hindrance. We have to keep going forward, no matter what.
Just like we've always been doing.
[So they should make the most of their time.]

Thank you for worrying about me. It's nice to have a friend you can rely on during these times.
[He's thankful for Riza's support.]
