[ haru could earn something here if he wanted... but he recognizes the ribbing for what it is and laughs a little even if it's deeply unfunny as an overall situation. ]
An idiot slacker, no less, according to a lot of my teachers. [ sometimes people say things to you and you internalize them and lean into that anyway. ] It's one of those things where... I don't know. I hate that we're all here. But I'm kind of glad for the other people I've met and the places I've heard about. I'm not interested in things only being better for me and Alex. It's just like the reason I started my project. I think people deserve that chance, or at least deserve to be given the tools to try.
[ who would do that... just kill someone for stuff...
anyway his teachers have clearly never heard of a self fulfilling prophesy? geez. ]
...I think it's a good idea. [ hmmm ] Last game, I learned a lot about how you change what you do to survive. So if a place is bad, you do worse things, because that's what it takes.
[ he is still judgmental of some people but more understanding than he could be. ]
It's not bad to give people a chance to try to do better.
It's like... it's that idea that the end justifies the means, right? You may not want them to, but sometimes your morals have to slide a little to make sure you're able to get out alive, and keep the people you care about safe. It's kind of one of those things you never think about until you're faced with the decision. I can't appropriately judge people without understanding the position they were put in.
You, for instance... I don't believe you would have done everything if there was a better choice. Kinda like I believe you looked for another choice and this was it. But those choices aren't the only thing that makes you Haru Nanase, right? So why shouldn't a person be given the chance to do better? [ a pause. ] I mean if people are gonna waste that chance and do worse, there's no helping that, but you get my point.
