[If there was anything Riye knew this conversation needed was that very blunt honesty. The end goal had to be reached here, so it was really for the best. With Alexis' optimistic nature, every now and then, a taste of reality would help. It might not feel nice, even she knew that. But, in a way, she felt like she owed it to her to cut to chase. It was pretty apparent that Alexis but up that optimism as a front, but that won't help her.]
The fact of the matter is, no one is your brother but your brother. As much as it hurts, your brother isn't here to help pick up what you drop. It seems like Dipper would be the type that could feel the same, from how you describe it.
The most you could do that's positive is to respect his decision, as a family member. When you see him again, if you want, you can show no mercy. Until then, having your own circle of trust might not be a bad idea if it helps the medicine go down.
