Mundane-san, I admire your dedication to scholarship in this instance, but truly, it's not necessary. I've done my part - the future is in their hands, now.

Few things in life are.

[japansnewdawn]

But this--it was cruel.

[He tries hard for composure, but...]

We fought for you. For the wrong that was done... It wasn't enough.

[underthepines]

You still have yourself, though. Your soul. It means they haven't won entirely.

[japansnewdawn]

[And what can he say to that? He's not so sure it's really true. Now, more than ever, he just feels... lost.]

I try, but...

[underthepines]

Sometimes that's enough. To not give up.

[japansnewdawn]

Sometimes, I wonder...

[underthepines]

If it's enough?

[japansnewdawn]

...yes.

[underthepines]

It is. Perhaps just barely, but it's enough.

[japansnewdawn]

...of course.

[And maybe that means he can keep going, even though it seems more and more like a truly lost cause.]

[underthepines]

[There's a smile at that]

Good. I know you'll do your best.
