[The story's familiar enough given all the reading he has done, but the ominous vibe lent by Komaeda's rendition certainly is not. And while he's never been around for the first appearances of the Arehtei, there's no shortage of stories, mostly of the terrific variety.
That said, Jade perhaps isn't the best person to talk Komaeda out of his pessimism given how there's enough of a logical precedent for them. And he doesn't, simply waving his hand as if to dismiss Komaeda's apology.]
There's no need to apologize. Especially when you're in the presence of someone who thinks likewise.
[What he wouldn't give for a straight answer, really.]
That, and I'd rather brace myself for the worst possible scenario in the unlikely event that it should occur. Better be safe than sorry, yes?
[It's a rhetorical question, one he doesn't wait a response for as he moves on to another point.]
Speaking of hope and turning that into fuel... is it really what this world needs? I would think that a balance is needed to rebuild this world--for however much unwanted the opposite end of the spectrum is.
