I'd agree with that. Even those of us who can't put it into words likely feel that way. [but she listens, frowning softly when he finally phrases it that way.]
Saying it is a start, especially when you do so much to try and take care of everybody else instead. [...] What frustrates you most about the situation? And yourself? Do you know why?
[ aside from being a weapon, that's the purpose he chose for himself. to always stand beside imanotsurugi and those who need a little bit of extra strength. ]
Being unable to do anything but watch. Knowing what we know and still being unable to help. Not being there to protect them, like I said that I would. [ there's a hesitation here, as his expression breaks and his eyes fall from hers. he's trying to hold it back, clearly, but that goes against what they're trying to say, doesn't it? ] And... And that I wasn't strong enough to fight the monster. If I could have, then maybe - maybe I wouldn't have killed e. Maybe I would've still been able to help, somehow.
[oh...all of this is very familiar to some of the things she's heard from others and even what she's felt herself, but the monster adds a new layer of absolute despair to it all.]
It's hard, isn't it? When all you wanna do is dive through the rift and reach them, and reassure all of them that they'll be alright. Take on their burdens for them. [...] I don't think I'd say it was a matter of not being strong enough though. These monsters and the things they're doing to us...they're meant to take over entirely, no matter how strong or powerful we are.
