Kung-fu classes will go on as normal. We all need something to get our minds off of things.

If you're going to ask Julian to get himself involved with a fight, I want to be there too.

I am not a messenger, nor did I ask Mister Keller to get himself involved in anything.

I believe that you're requesting something of the wrong person.

He told me

Well, I guess he didn't say it exactly like that, but he told me that you were the one who nudged him in that direction anyway.

And I already talked to him. But I wanted to ask you too, because you're more connected to what's going on around here.

Ah, well, it was a little different than that. I did know that something was going to happen. Protecting people is something that he chose to do; along with deciding who he was going to protect and what he was going to stand for in terms of this battle.

What would you like me to do? I'm not sure what you're asking of me. Tell you when things like this happen? I can predict a lot of things, but in terms of what you'd like to fight for, and what events that you'd like to be part of, that's for you to decide. It was the same with Mister Keller, I give him a lot of information, he picks his battles. Is that what you'd like me to do for you? Keep in mind that if you want to follow his lead in what he believes that you should be asking him for the information on what he decides to fight for. If you'd like to become an individual in your own beliefs, then I would be happy to help you as well, Miss Ashida. Depending on what you wish to do, it might cause a battle between the two of you in the future.

Do you understand?

Julian and I don't always see eye to eye on things, so I'd like the opportunity to think things through for myself, rather than reacting to whatever I get from him.

It's a responsibility that only you can take on to yourself. Once I begin to tell you things, it's very difficult to go back to not knowing. It's not clear cut or black and white. What battle you should get involved in, who you should save, what they're fighting for ... You will have to be the one to judge those things on your individual accord.

However, I do ask that you give yourself a little time to think about what you're asking of me before you make a decision. I will be here at any time that you decide. I will not get into the battles between you and Julian; so I would like for you to tell him as well after you make your decision.

I have thought about it, and I'm tired of sitting around and doing nothing but feeling sorry for myself. I'm not going to change my mind.

Please do take some time to weigh the consequences of this decision, at least.

Consider me weighing them, then.

Drink a cup of tea over it and calm yourself down. This isn't a rash decision to be made.
