"Momoku, he's right. Emotional instability will reduce the chances of winning in battle, you should prioritize on getting mentally stronger. It is not recommended for a human to be carrying this amount of stress." says Okane as he appears on Momoku's right hand.
"Yeah.... I can see that. I'm just want to help the kid that's all, but he refused the offer so here we are." says Momoku, not bothering to look at the parasite.
"Were you offering him? Or are you lying again? When was the last time you told the truth? Was it when you told them your abilities? We cannot leave them now; getting emotionally unstable is the least of our worries, I recommend to ignore this fear for now and just act naturally. Basing it off your body temperature, it is going off at high levels, meaning that you are stressed. Not only that, you're feeling very shaky as you speak, I recommend you to rest. Seeking medical help is advised, but it depends on your choice. I personally would go to one." says Okane, logical and calm about his analysis.
"Thanks Okane. You're always there for me when I'm sad, or when I feel very off." says Momoku, as he slowly regains his hope, albeit ever so little.
"Hope is something the humans run off when they feel despair. And yet, it is also the one causing them their destruction. However, if one were to cling onto to it for very long, they'll be able to understand and accept their surroundings, gaining a new hope from the destroyed one." says Okane, talking about the philosophy of humans.
This was his wake-up call. This tilted the once broken man, into a man seeking for hope- for happiness.
As he walks back to his lab, he begin to see that new light, shining upon him.
"The light.... I haven't seen it in 15 years..." says Momoku.
