[everyone needs a reason to keep going, and spite's not a bad one.
scien's single-minded goal for most of his existence now has been to free his cursed little french island from its own limited lifespan. he doesn't do it out of altruism or good will, and he doesn't do it to prove a point. it's simply what he's meant to do, because he was born to do it.
for shoma, who was given this bad lot in life, who else would bother to spend all that time saving him... besides himself? scien entertains the idea of trying to piece together a solution for him - but with someone this intelligent, that doesn't seem right. it would take something from him that he should grip with his own two hands.]
That's right.
[affirming]
Every piece of data is relevant. Use your resources in whatever way that you can live with it. And don't lose sight of your goal, even if it's just to save yourself.
