[ Everything in her wants to yank away, because not knowing sounds even worse than certainty that he'll leave. But... could she bear to tell him so if maybe he'd stay? Not a chance. ]
...Okay. [ It doesn't sound like she particularly believes him, no. It's self-preservation, not doubt in him. ]
[ There has to be a way to change this. Stop her life cycle. Something in all this magic that can fix it, because she can't lose another love. ]
[ She nods and rests her cheek against his shoulder. It occurs to her that this is why her kind was meant to have Chevaliers, so they can't be left behind. Even so, she'll never make another one. Even if they ever make it to Teyvat, she'd be alone. ]
I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to hurt because of me.
I love you, too. [ Despite that he's hurt her this way. It's not his fault, it's hers. ]
...If I go out for a while to unwind, you won't read into it, will you? I just need to move.
[ And think. She needs time to get her sobbing out so she can come back and not make the time they do have miserable and steeped in pre-emptive grief. ]
No matter what happens, I'll never regret marrying you. And I'm not going to spend the time we have in mourning, either.
So when I get back, I'll do whatever I can to make things as good as they can be for as long as we have. I promise. [ She can't promise to fix her life cycle before it's too late, but that much she can do. If it eats away at her, then that's fine. It's her burden to bear. ]

...There must be some way to stop your hibernation. I'll search tirelessly until I can promise you it will never trouble either of us.

Good. That's all I need to know.
[ That and the location of some hyper-caffeine berries or something. She's a fighter, she's not giving him up without a fight. ]
