He's not sure he can promise he'll be 'all right'. It depends on the meaning. He'll heal. He's almost cursed that way. He always heals. Crooked, bent wrong, missing pieces - but he heals enough to keep going. He'll always keep going. He's not allowed to stop. He's just not sure how many pieces of himself are left to go missing anymore. He knows that. And he's not sure how many pieces of himself he has left to lose by this point. But he'll heal. He'll keep going forward. Because its what he does.

I'll be all right. [If he's lying, its nothing he wouldn't do anyway. It depends on the meaning of 'all right'. But he can't stay and she can't go and that's the only thing that's important right now. He lowers his forehead to rest it against hers.]
And I will always love you too, Hana Song. Until my very last breath.
