...[There's a slow nod, almost like relief that Ishikirimaru agrees.]
In the old life, I was kind of training to be a guardian for the world. If I can't do it there, I can work on doing it here and in the new world. I didn't think I'd be suited for it but it's hard to go back now.
It is a difficult sort of duty. Mine is similar, although it is history we're protecting rather than the world itself... and many of us have found it harder than we expected, at times.
It will not be easy-- but I think you'll be capable of it.
...thanks, Ishi. [Somehow hearing it from someone older than him helps, weirdly enough.] There's not much else I can do but move forward, right? And make sure you guys reach your own goals.

I believe I like the sound of it.
[That comes with a softer smile, this time.]
I know how it feels to be unable to protect what one cares about-- ensuring that's possible would certainly be doing the world a service.
