[ though he remains focused on their conversation, it would be disingenuous to say hope isn't also intrigued by whatever claude's training entails. despite being a jrpg character, hope has never really been a fighter, especially not since he'd lost his ability to use magic in his youth. ]
I was speaking more in general, but you have a point. Maybe it'll be Wiwaldi this week.
Didn't I tell you? I lost contact with everyone from Wiwaldi shortly after graduation. Until now, everything about it and the people I met there has only been in my memories. It would be like...a homecoming of sorts, I guess.
...I almost went down that road once before. After experiencing that much anger and almost being consumed by it entirely...I realized it wasn't worth it. Being bitter wouldn't bring anyone back—not my parents, not my friends, nothing.
So instead, I decided to work toward a better future. A future that they would be proud of—one that I would be proud of to show them, if I ever had the chance to see them again.

Sad, probably.

Why's that?

[ He just didn't think about it that way. ]
And you said you lost your friends before that too, when you were young. Honestly Hope, I'm not sure how you manage to remain so good-hearted.

What else was I supposed to do? Give up? ... That would have been a disrespect to the memory of everyone I'd lost.

It takes a lot of strength to be kind.
