Ironic Echo or Meaningful Echo. Take your pick.
Alice and Bob fight against each other and Alice tells Bob that he shouldn't even try to win since she's way stronger. They eventually team up and when their enemy Carol attacks them, Bob tells her that since he and Alice are stronger than her, she should just give up and stop trying to win against them.
Is there a trope for this kind of situations- the same (or very similar) words used in different situations, often by the same characters and usually to show character development?
