I wish it didn't have to be that way, admittedly. Thinking that the only way someone can grow is by going through terrible situations.

[ in their case, they think it's fine... but that's because it's either they go through their situation or had died. better to go through something than nothing at all. but, for other people... ]

..Ah. If I was still back in my world, I'd say I've grown enough. But coming here... [ a quiet glance at him. ] It's a different environment. Different people. Connections I've made that I... want to protect. So.. I don't know. I want to save everyone, if I can. Until I can do that, maybe then.

[ with quiet amusement. ] A few have pointed out I could do less too, which is something I would have been able to learn to do if I didn't come here.
