"Heh. I suppose. I've seen what happens when lines don't move. It's never anything good. You need to be flexible and open to new ideas. The views of other people are important too. And I suppose that's very true - the choice of what an 'acceptable loss' is tends to be very different as well. For some it's none or a few people. On the other side it could be billions, if the end goal is lofty enough." He can't exactly say that the sentiment behind it was wrong, though.

"Maybe. Ya find the inflexible ones are those whose ideas are currently the status quo in power. Often askin someone to be "open to new ideas" is askin them to change or weaken their grip. And usually it's self-serving for the requester."
That's how all change starts. Someone comes by and thinks something could be done better, whether it's self improvement or condemning something else as wrong. Human nature is funny like that. Dabi's seen it from the hero side and the villain side. It's ridiculous when people try to coat it as something other than what it is: selfishness. Change driven by people is inherently selfish, regardless of whether the selfishness stems from a "good" or "bad" reason.
"A single person with a single conviction has the power to change the world. But that change could be leavin everyone else dead."
