[That does give him pause. Because that is a number so catastrophically large that it's inconceivable. It's a scale too large to comprehend. Millions and billions which are common numbers that get thrown around in this day and age are still beyond a normal human's comprehension. No one grasps how large a million is. Much less a billion.
Five worlds is... If you assume they're earth sized is... 40 billion.]
Huh. [He's... thinking. The wheels spinning. He won't make a claim that he knows any of these people particularly well. But he and Ritsuka have talked a decent amount. And though it is on a much much much smaller scale he understands the them or me stance very well.
He understands it more in terms of revenge. What wouldn't he do for revenge? The lives of innocents were worth removing. The uproot of families.
Would he have destroyed all of Tokyo to get revenge against his father? Maybe...
The world? It's... hard to know. It's hard to know without that dilemma being right in front of him.
For Ritsuka who is trying to correct history which means, he thinks, bringing back what was lost. If the question became what would he do to get his mother back? Well... The answers might shift slightly, and she is just one person. If there were others? A whole functioning family? Friends?]
You said you stumbled into your job... So if it wasn't you doing this it would be someone else. And it's all for the sake of a world you lost? [He shrugs his shoulders and reaches for their drinks, handing over hers.] Anyone who said they wouldn't do the same is a liar.
It's easy to stand on your high horse when you're not the one holding the gun. Positions reversed there are very few here that wouldn't pull that trigger.
