[ Listen. Jeanne knows all types of people. It's fine. Probably. ]
Some are like that, and there are others who speak, knowing exactly what they can do and what they have to do to achieve something like that. What would you do if you met the latter?
I'd like to meet someone like that first before saying anything. [ she trails off, half considering to leave it there but.
well. if someone was able to keep their word? if there was such a thing possible. ] ...but if they were able to keep their word then maybe they wouldn't be too bad.
[ she was with jeanne up until her final statement. perhaps this makes her sound like a misanthrope but sometimes things just happen and you can't handle hearing people go on about things like this. putting hope in places where there shouldn't be. ]
I rather accept things as they are than holding out for something that doesn't exist.
[ one or both of those statements are true. however, and unfortunately, the way that jeanne puts it before her like this agitates her. it feels so presumptuous and...something that she can't put a feeling on. something that just pisses her off. ]
Why does it matter to you whichever it is that I think?
Why wouldn't it? Everyone has their own opinions and their own experiences that shape their lives. In a world that isn't black and white, shouldn't I be interested in what colors it?
[ People who live. People who struggle. People who suffer. People who persevere. People who fall. People who get up again. People who are lost.
[ It's fine. It's nothing Jeanne can't accept, and it's nothing close to the worst thing she's heard or experienced. ]
All I did was ask a question. If it is a question you can't answer or a question you don't want to answer, that's all there is to it. You needn't answer, and we move on.

But... hmm. ]
I wouldn't call that salvation, but I'm glad you're not someone who believes in that kind of insincerity.

[ sadly, the reason for her disbelief is built around cynicism than belief in the greater good. weeps. ]
It's hard to believe in that kind of talk. People like to about salvation or saving people without knowing what they can do.

[ She's curious. ]

Ideally I'd like it to be something I agree with. [ something something beggars can't be choosers? ] But the world isn't that kind.

The world is not kind. People are capable of cruelty, of committing evil and unjust actions. This is a truth.
[ In her own world and in Izumo's and likely in almost every other world. ]
But that doesn't mean you should have to accept something because you don't think there will be anything better.
[ It's not said in censure or in earnest, only sincerity. ]

[ To Jeanne, Izumo doesn't sound like a misanthrope, more like someone who's given up hope.
Or given up on hope. ]

And what of the people who don't want to be known? Not everyone wants other people to stick their noses where they don't belong?
