Jisoo: Right, both of those people had many wounds, but it was good to see that just being by their side was enough to give them strength.- 그치 is a casual contraction of 그렇지, which derives from 그렇다 (to be so) and the confirmative ending -지, an informal sentence ending used to seek confirmation or agreement, often softening the question or implying the speaker’s belief that the listener agrees, similar to how ‘right?’ or ‘isn’t it?’ is used in English.
