If you kill someone you take responsibility for that life, and you take the weight of ending it onto your shoulders, because you’ve chosen to carry that weight.

It didn’t seem like he felt that way, from how he talked at the trial.

... Who say they want to help people, but then they don't realize what they've done to harm them too. I don't know if I can... hate him, but it pisses me off that he's so fucked up about it.
People who go out to become a saviour don't tend to have the best of intentions in mind. How can they? They're thinking of becoming a saviour themselves. That's not how it works.
About people who just want to help others, Leclerc-san? Maybe... saving people is pretty arrogant. But what if you just want to protect them anyway?
[it's such a weird fuzzy line - and clearly mineo is just trying to see what others might think about it]
I'm not asking you for answers or anything... [since they talked about it before] I just... wonder what other people think about it, I guess. While I'm trying to figure it out for myself too.
I'm sure there's sayings about it. No matter how good someone's intentions are, they might not be done for the purest of reasons.

The line between saving and protecting is thin. And I don't think one is better than the other, it's just the meaning you attach to it -- protecting someone because they owe you something, or they can provide something in the future isn't any better than saving someone for a purpose.
... That they're dangerous and probably should be allowed around drills?
[ it's. it's a valid point. ]
Someone helping wants to help. Some who sees themselves as a saviour believes they are helping in the only way possible. One of these things is more dangerous than the other by far.
And if they can't be snapped out of that mindset, then they become an active danger. [ ... like fukuda. ]

That's probably true. It's just whatever meaning you can live with, right? And even if other people will judge your actions differently....
Some people can only do their best. [a beat] I wonder what that means for people like Fukuda-san.
