[THEY SHOULD. HOW CAN U SWIM FREE WITHOUT THE SHACKLES OF PHILOSOPHICAL MORALITY?]
It isn’t my place to save them, or even to change them. They must do it on their own.
I can only hold up the mirror and reflect their ugliness back at then in the hopes they will see and understand. And many of them do.
As you have, right…? I’m sure you’ve thought about a lot while being here.

I didn't change because of you.
[ That comes out first, quick and irritated.
And then he's silent a moment, glancing down. ]
What gives you the right to test them then?

No, you changed because life was stolen from you.
[He watches Rin quietly.]
We protected them long ago. We were people from China who could communicate with animals. We interpreted their prophecies and protected humans from them when necessary.
Until they had us all killed.

[ he leans back. i forgot they were at the gym. ]
Okay. That makes sense.
[ he's pretty casual about that, some of the irritation leaving. ]
It's only annoying when you pretend it's for their sake. If it's vengeance, that's honest. No wonder you and Rang get along so well.

[YOU FORGOT HE WAS BEING A JOCK]
I suppose we have some things in common.
[REVENGE.]
Shouldn't you be more angry at such a thing? I'm surprised.

[ yeah starts doing bicep curls or whatever ]
I mean... I don't think it's a good thing. I think even Rang knows that revenge doesn't bring anyone any happiness.
But do you even want to be happy?

[Wryly smiles.]
There is no happy or sad for me, I'm afraid. There is only the duty to which I've been shackled.

[listen, water boy]
I have to be. Anything else would be a betrayal to all of the animals who have perished at the hands of humans.

Then he turns to leave.]
