You don't have to fight. [Time to get his old knees off the ground so he can take a seat beside her, taking one of her hands in both of his.]
Everything that we do here is a choice. We chose to believe Rei, and we chose to wield powers beyond compare, and as we move forward, we will all keep making decisions.
Now, that does not mean we will simply allow one of our number to do something we know will get them hurt, if we can help it, but...it has to be your choice, in the end. You do not wish to fight her? Then don't. There are plans in place...to break the base of her power. If we don't do that, then we cannot move forward. You don't have to be part of any of those plans.
[He thinks Aera would like Mona, would approve of her caring heart, the strength of her resolve.]
Maybe you were being naive, but I don't think that's a bad sign. You had hopes, and you thought you saw a side that others weren't willing to entertain. It didn't work out. You are so full of light and love and hope and care that you are fit to burst with it. And I hope you hold on to that. It's a fine balance compared to the lot that want to pull a weapon at the drop of a hat. We need your kindness. We need your compassion. We need someone to reach out a hand when everyone else is too stubborn to.
