It's in the nature of people to head towards the sunlight. It's hard to find someone who actually relishes in being all alone -- a quiet moment and eternal solitude aren't the same.

[ Who knows. Maybe, just maybe he could've done something for her, but he was just as bad. He's not strong either, you know? ]

...Sure. Not my place to air out other people's laundry.
...
It's true, though. You can only really save people who want to be saved...
But I guess it's also a part of my job to try anyway.

It's so annoying. [ Using teenager words, despite the weariness that shouldn't be harbored by a teenager. ] He's stubborn and stupid.
[ Despite already saying he plans to fix it, he complains. ]
You think it's worth picking out the people who just want to drown?

[ The darkness can be the light to them. He isn't one to consider perspective. In an empirical world, the senses make out reality. ]
It is! And he doesn't even remember it.

Sure they do. But you always know what's true, objectively -- it's wrong to say the darkness is the light.
It's hard to change people's beliefs... but it's not necessarily impossible.
no subject
He believes so, too. People break... But some aren't so far gone. ]
I didn't know what it felt like to be so helpless. [ you are 18. ] Ever been in a similar position? Doesn't need to be a one to one.

...
We had three days.
The amount of time we have here is outright generous in comparison.
no subject
[ No curses ready to kill them, but they just have each other and possibly 5-6 bodies dropping a week. ]
Did you guys succeed? Or are you still working on it.
no subject
No.
[ But he doesn't really elabourate on that. ]
