[ wouldn't it be funny if he just said he was simply wondering?
but that would be an insult to scien's intelligence, he thinks. the man isn't stupid, and shoma figures he's already deduced there is a specific reason for the somewhat pointed and calculated questions. kids don't just ask about this sort of thing for their own curiosity and he knows that.
on the other hand, calling it a "goal" is a little lofty when he doesn't know if that counts. to shoma, a goal is an attainable thing with results you can show off when you're done. while he has something he wants to accomplish in understanding all of this...it feels a little foolish to admit it only impacts one person.
he debates lying about it and making up a goal to sounds more put together, but he also figures scien will see through that, too. so he's standing still, watching him for the time being. ]
I do. [ he admits that much. ] But in order to even see if the goal itself is attainable, I want to start from the roots and work my way out. [ and yet the goal is still not about achieving immortality or extending a life force. ] When I figure out that much, I can elaborate.
