[Sure, he'd be upset if sensei left, but he has somewhere to go to.]
I know it's... a lot... to think of one of your students dying. But you're so much to so many people. Maybe... maybe people would be upset if I died, but... you're a good person. I'm only trying to be.
[Sometimes he feels like he's fooled people into thinking he's a good person. He still feels like he's terrible, and he can't shake that feeling.]
I'm not trying to make this a competition or something. I know it sounds like I am. I just... you have a lot ahead of you. Trench is the last stop for me. It... it's not like I...
[He lets go of Daniel's hand so he can wipe at his face. He's breathing hard, and he tries to get it under control. In and out. In... and out... he clenches his fists against his knees as he tries to verbalize what he's feeling.]
... I know that watching people get hurt hurts you. But people are relying on you. You can't let yourself break until the end. You can't let yourself get caught up in revenge or fear. You have to do what you have to do. Even if it's scary.
I understand why you did it. I just... don't want you to have to do that again. I'm... I'm trying to work on my own powers. So I... if something like that happens again I can... maybe help. More than just trying to get through to Mob...
