You are but one man. If Miss Susato heard you say such a thing, I'm sure she'd flip you instantly. You have done all you could for the others around you. It isn't a failure that...circumstances were outside your control.
[he manages a faint, sad smile at that. (and it's strange, to be told that he has done enough. not that he's a failure.) for all of his self-loathing, he can't ignore all that susato has said and done.]
In any case... I've never really expected a long, careful life. Perhaps it doesn't suit me. So while I may not particularly wish to die—especially not as a pawn of these angels—the thought of it isn't that frightening either.
You do deserve a long, careful life. So stop saying you don't. [He sighs.] Have you done a terrible thing? Yes. But to see you destroy yourself for that...what is the use of it?
I'm not trying to destroy myself. But my family is a military one and I was to be sent off to war, so it's not like I was raised to expect peace. And I've been told I take more risks than necessary, so this is just another one, in a way.
[to gamble on there being life after death, or that everyone will be saved in the end.]
