She could lie like she did with Minamoto and the Children. It would be so easy and it would take a load off his mind...but it would be temporary.
In the end, Fujiko couldn't make that kind of promise because she wouldn't be able to keep it and she knew (she just knew) that he would never forgive her for it.

"Sometimes I think it would have been better if I had been born later. If I had I could have stayed with you for the rest of your life." She could tell him that she'll do her best to stay with him until the very end. She could love him without reservation or care about the future. She laughed. "But I guess maybe you wouldn't have liked me. I was very unreasonable when I was younger."
