[ whenever something like this comes from scien, shouxue thinks it's interesting even if it disgruntles her half the time she can't disagree with him. ]
What makes her strong is how she tries for others.
It's obvious enough that she cares. That she's diligent and wants to help others. [ . . . ] But she agreed to come work for me primarily so that she could be somewhere she can live without fear of death at every turn. I don't mind being used for a reason like that.
[virche world is bad but not as bad as limbus especially if you have scien's protection]
She did tell me she didn't want to return to her world. I didn't know she wanted to go to yours.
[ it's yuri's choice most of all, so even if shouxue thinks reliver culture is fucked up to hell, she isn't going to argue against that choice when she didn't give that choice to herself. ]
We are not yet free, so she has time to make her decision. [ if it is a decision they'll be able to have. ] I won't question it, as long as she chooses something that will lead her to some place happier.

[he agrees]
But that much has been evident from the first week.
[they’re two people that scien would struggle to say something truly negative about]
no subject
Mm. I expect Yuri to have a difficult time for a while.
[ at least more visibly than rodya. ]
no subject
Perhaps.
But I find her to be much stronger and more capable than others think—sometimes even than she expects of herself.
no subject
[ at least not in this specific case. ]
The way she stood at end of trial is proof enough.
no subject
I don't think she's ever been weak.
Easily startled and sheepish at times... but weak is not a word I would use to describe her.
no subject
What makes her strong is how she tries for others.
no subject
Partially. She is useful to me, and all of us.
But I like the part of her that is most loyal to herself.
no subject
[ she tilts her head. ]
Loyal to herself?

It is salvation in its own way.
[ that kind of choice, that kind of loyalty. ]
no subject
[the real origin of calling her New Hire. because scien literally hired her]
... but I think she can find a sweeter salvation. I told her she can go with someone else, if she finds someone who wants to take her.
[which is scien's own loyalty - to offer someone a direction away from him]
no subject
[ whether it's with scien or anyone else. ]
