[...a wise answer, but not one he's entirely sure he can follow. There's a pause because he knows he has to answer, but none of his answers sound right. In the end, he settles on a nod.]
Then maybe they'll be fortunate enough to find people to help them. This is a place where people are going to start to see the ugly sides of each other. Can loving someone really save them?
[Don't like that he keeps having philosophical conversations with a sword, but here we are. He has his own answers to those questions, but they're out in the universe now anyway.] ...anyway, I don't expect a real answer. I'm just thinking about what's coming next.
I don't know if love can save someone on its own - but I've seen the way that it can heal old wounds. How a human being's wish to be cared for can overcome their other obstacles.

Mm. I want to help everyone here as much as I can too.
[Love is a double-edged sword, isn't it? He's not voicing that opinion because Higekiri's words are true, too.]
...help people by speaking to them and seeing what obstacles they have in their way. An outsider's perspective can probably be more valuable than anything else. [There's a frown when he stops in front of what we now know is the ballroom.]
My own obstacles are ones I can't overcome yet. But...tomorrow, maybe. With some answers.
