It's not a requirement that makes a lick of sense to me. All that does is cut you off from the world outside the Order, and if you're to work in the world, isn't it better to have places to go where you know you're safe?
[He wishes it weren't a special case. But talking to Jinwoo and Lapis, and seeing the lengths Zhongli was willing to go to for his own freedom from the Order's bondage...
He thinks of the Templars, and their prattle about guiding all men toward the straight and narrow path. Guiding implies that someone is tied to you in some way, and they can't pull away no matter how they try, if they even want to. He shivers.]
I'll see what I can do about installing a hot shower if there is a next time, but I make no promises.
If your ghost does wake up and make things worse for you, let me know and I'll do the same for you that I did for Blade. With hopefully less stabbing involved this time. But besides that.
You're a good man, Jinwoo. I consider myself fortunate to know you, and most of the Order unfortunate for not realizing what they had before they started leaving in droves. If it comes down to a fight, I'll stand with you.
I think that's the point. You didn't hear this from me, because saying it would be considered blasphemy and insubordination; but I think that's the point. It's only because we have dealings with Zodiac that we're not isolated here--which has given some of us freedoms we've never had before.
[ it's... a lot to think about. He's never felt rebellious before this. ]
I trust you. And the others. if anything ever goes awry, you'll all be the first to know. But it's so silent, all the time. So long as I keep paying my 'price.'
[ he reads edward's final words over--once and then twice. A little laugh escaping him. ]
It's strange. Having people in my corner.
I could get used to it. I'm so used to going solo... this is a good change.
