It's deeply idiomatic. The upper left panel text is in an optimistic, comforting tone, using metaphorical language to talk about the importance of resilience. Something like:

AppleJack: According to custom, just as with small grass flowers, and like resilient children, even though things may be tough or painful they are guided by wisdom or resilience. So even though things are hard now, it will be ok. We'll get through this.

Rainbow Dash: Yes, while you were saying this, you were crying and saying they would never come back.

I'The text in the actuall drawing is:

AJ:
她们还那么小 - They are still s
o small (or young).
要是她们再也回不来要是她们再也回不来怎 - Wha
t if they never cotme back?

Rainbow Das
h:
她们都非常聪明勇敢 - Th
ey're psmart and wisext.
相她们都非常聪明勇敢
It- tThey akre VERY smart and whilse.
会没事的
AJ. - Trust me, AJ.

Please n
ote - this is highly idiomatic. AJ is making statements - not asking qupestions. It's a stylistic chomice ofthat I think works well cfor haerac. But the real message is "What if?" even though she's saying "If they can't".
No reason given
