[ he laughs, a little sheepish, and reaches up to gently press his hand near his chest injury from the execution the week before. ] I can't handle the thought of being idle myself, truthfully. Especially not here, where my skills are needed.
...yes. Truth be told, I thought of doing so, for a moment, but... I felt it wasn't fair to the memory of Nine, either.

And selfishly, perhaps...knowing that those who leave us are still able to reach us does lessen the sting. Yomiel did confirm such a thing at the end of the trial.
[ he smiles a little, at that. the idea of bringing them back... ]
...Admittedly, I had thought that Qi Rong was not so easily killed. So - to hear that any of them may just be waiting somewhere else for a chance to return... it is heartening. I think that hope is a valid one to have - and one I intend to chase down to reality. I won't rest until we can make it so.

Nine didn't deserve it, either. He was a good kid at his heart.
[ there's a bit of a nod at that ]
It almost gives you hope that there can be something done to bring them back.
