[ well, there's a room straight across from the sickbay if he's wandering into the next one, which will be... the lab. microscopes and other tools can be used to examine the samples collected. there is also a hydroponic growing space in the back... which various plants can be seen to be growing here. ]
It doesn't always... Sometimes, growth comes from dire situations but, it can be worth it if we like the person we've become. [ and they do. they like the person they are now. ]
[ immediately he's going to be nosy and start checking out the microscopes, peering into the lens to see if there are samples or the like to be reviewed. he'll make his way toward the back slowly. ]
You ever think it might take longer to like that person? Like...the growth doesn't feel worth it until even more terrible situations happen on top of the already terrible ones.
[ he can peer into lens, there's general samples there but idk science though most of them are probably plant samples anyways. ]
...I think it could take longer. Though, depending on what kind of decisions were made because of that growth... [ they think about it ] ...Yes, it might take more terrible situations to eventually make it feel worth it.
But, I also think it depends on the person. [ quieter ] It... took me hundreds of loops to get to where I am now. And even then, I know there's still more room for improvement. That might not be the same for others though. [ someone else may feel they need to go through more to come close to it feeling worth the growth. ]
It almost feels unfair sometimes to think of it that way. Having to go through things that are shittier than others just to get a similar outcome. I know it's worth it in the end for some people, but it makes you wonder sometimes why it has to be that way.
[ which has always been something he's thought about on and off. why do some people have to struggle so much harder than others? ]
Some people might tap out after the first couple, you're right. But I feel like no matter how many you went through you'd always say you could improve. [ a gentle call-out. ] When do you think it'd ever be enough...?
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.
...I guess being here really does change the whole game, doesn't it. None of us would be the way we are now if we hadn't met everybody else and learned what else is out there. So many people still want to save everybody else, too. [ which isn't something he disagrees with either. ]
You really do need to try and do less. It's called avoiding burnout. But I also get that it's not always easy to unlearn the things you've spent so long doing, too.
[ the nod at that, agreeing with him on.. well, all of that really. being here really has opened up so much to a lot of people. Setsu in particular knows that to be the truth for themselves. ]
It's difficult to unlearn yes, but I've been learning to rely on you and everyone else more. Though, there's also the whole... I feel better being busy. It puts me at ease to be doing something than.. nothing. [ if they aren't at least doing a bit of work now and then, they're probably fidgeting. ]
I think I can get that. But I also think there are other things you can do to keep busy without putting so much of a strain on yourself. New hobbies, spending time with new people...it's stuff I'm still trying to figure out, too.

[ some amusement. but they'll gesture with a tilt of their head. ] Shall we look at more? We can focus on this.
[ a break from everything else. but also we can gently wrap this thread up. can handwave Setsu showing the rest of the ship. c: ]

[ a break is nice. a break with friends is extra nice. and we can handwave the rest of the tour and prepare for new threads <3 ]
