I know. But with the scale of our failures here... I can't help but to want to do more. I don't want more to suffer because of our mistakes.
[Raidou shakes his head lightly.]
One mistake that has possibly cost hundreds or thousands of lives in my city. Were LILITH to return me home, and I am still alive there, I will face whatever punishment my clan hands down to me. I understood the weight of my title when I earned it.
[But Raidou doesn't want to go home. His chance of survival seemed slim. It's not that he's scared of dying, it's that he's been given a second chance that no one usually gets. Something he didn't earn, like a gift. He doesn't want to squander it.
This whole while, Raidou's eyes have been glued to the floor, but they shift now in Ratio's direction.
What he desires? It's never been about him.
He nods, almost imperceptibly.]
I will. Though I'm not sure how one could ever figure that out.
