Matsui really came for him, and yet, instead of feeling shame, or embarrassment, or guilt, he just feels... righteous! Righteous bitterness. His lashes lower slightly over his eyes, and then he finally looks at Matsui again.]
Humans must look at themselves and change, or they will destroy themselves and take the world along with it. The only ones who can save humans are themselves. Only they can repent for the things they've done.
He really did come for D though and for WHAT. WHAT DID HE DO THIS FOR!! Also help. D is really just out here. At least Matsui can understand this from the angle of penance... This appeals to his Catholic nature.]
Do you believe them capable of making those changes?
[Because he agrees that only humans can repent for their sins and that they're going to destroy themselves and the world if they aren't stopped BUT ALSO HE COMES FROM A TIME WHERE THIS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED.]
Matsui will just level D a stare for another few silent seconds, his expression as difficult to read as ever. Internally, he's just like, WELL. WE WILL SIMPLY NEVER SEE THE DAY!! He doesn't dislike humans; he's just far from idolizing them. Being a pessimistic person in general means he sees the shenanigans they get up to and fears the worst.
Eventually, as if he's come to his own internal conclusions, his eyes close and he nods.]
[WOW, DON'T LOOK AT HIM LIKE THAT. He looks right back, unwavering. He doesn't care how many other human sympathizers out there try to convince him, he won't feel ashamed of thinking this way after (redacted). He knows Matsui understands at least a little.
Remembering about how Spoon almost apped Geto.]
The burden is worth it as long as I can protect the planet and the life on it.
[He thinks Matsui may understand this just as well, too. They are mean, AU Noahs...]
[STOP HE WAS STARING IMPASSIVELY STOP READING INTO IT D YOU PARANOID MEAN AU NOAH!!!! Geto being here would have been so fucking funny.
He does unfortunately understand both of these things, though. Sometimes you carry worthwhile burdens and sometimes you don't believe in the power of humans!]
I'm glad, then, that you find worth in it. I think it's a noble endeavor.
He's glad Matsui gets him, and he doesn't have to waste his breath explaining things everyone else writes off quickly as him being weird. A team full of weirdos!]

His eyes search the glowing blue ones, lips thin. Humans… making those changes… haha. Yeah, okay.]
If they’re willing to try, to not be taken in by their greed, or selfishness, or violence.
[Because in the end, as much as he dislikes humans, they are a part of life.]
Once they have earned the right to step on our ark, they will have succeeded. But that is not for me to decide. It is all up to them.

That's a heavy duty to carry.
[Why are they Noah but mean...]

Thank you. It is a duty I won't ever forsake.

More worlds would likely do better if more were willing to take on such burdens.
