[Something I really struggle with is that desire to spill the beans in every thread because I always want to show bits of the stories of the characters I love, haha. It took all my willpower not to do that in this and other threads. Alas, pacing is needed and that kills me sometimes, golly.
That question brings Akihiko some pause]
Not really. I have options but it's hard to figure out. That's moot, anyway. That'll have to wait until I'm sure I'll get out of here.
[More like he'll have to see if there'll be a future in the first place! The mass extinction of all life kind of would get in the way. With that problem looming ahead, it feels to him thinking about too far ahead is taking way too much for granted!]
To me? It would be someone who overcomes the hardships given to them and still finds reasons to help other people. Someone who can look at the big picture.
But it's vague because everyone will have a different answer. What's yours?
I wish I knew. Even when I was alive I was wondering what it is to be strong or kind. Maybe it's simple, but I'm strugging with figuring that out anyway.
[.....hm.......]
All I know for sure is that if you end up hurting someone else you're on the wrong track. That's all I have figured out.
[Mostly because that's so antithetical to his drive to protect others]
I don't think anyone has it all figured out. That's sort of my point. It's an important question without a binary answer. What you said you know "for sure" has an exception that you agree with.
Which means it requires more thought than something like a simple math calculation with only one solution to reach.
...I think I get it -- and if I don't, I'll get it before the two months pass.
[Maybe. He's really going to give it serious thought. On those nights when he's got nothing to do and he's busy with the punching bag he'll get on Wednesday and he's alone with this thoughts, he probably will mull this over and over, be sure of that]
Do you three have the same opinion or did you all get assigned to this whole thing because you disagree with each other on the details?
[He's not from mainline Shin Megami Tensei where it's blatantly obvious 99% of angels are total zealots with the same opinion, but also...generally speaking from a layman's point of view, angels aren't famous for having individual opinions, now are they?]

Though it would be best to be motivated by a pure desire to be a good person, above all else.

What about times when it's necessary to hurt one person to help another?

[That comment so was meant to stall for time]
I guess if it needs to happen then I'd do it.
[He kind of already did, now that he thinks abou tit. Fighting Strega was right. He's absolutely convinced of that]

[ as for the second part - they shake their head. ]
I'm sure we have some commonalities, but we also have areas where we disagree. Like I said. It's not a binary answer.
