And he's not freaking out because actually, this was what was supposed to happen. Well, minus the Chinchou. That's...new.]

The idea that the world keeps you here because it decides for itself that you need to be here - it implies that you're important to it in some ways. It favors you. The ones that have left are no less important, they just fulfilled their purpose to the world. Isn't that possible?

[He hesitates a little at the question regarding whether he was pulled from battle; even so, he seems a bit more relaxed at the assertion that Johto has never been at war. The concept is strange to him; the Ura and the Caels haven't had good relations with each other for as long as he can remember.]

I don't believe in aggression as a policy. However, I'm familiar with the effects of war - enough to work toward its prevention as a peace ambassador for my people.

What you've told me, then, is comforting.

[...I'm sorry, what was that about him being an alternate version of you, Archer? Because ahahaha. haha. ha. no.]
