[I want to protect him too.

That strikes Jaime, hits him right down deep in his gut. No, he realizes. No, no, no, this can't be it, this can't be the reason why Ken moves on, because Ken will fail. Ken has already failed. They can try their best to protect Minato here, but he's already dead. What happens when a soul fixated on finding a reason to live chases after a lost cause?

Why has Ken chosen almost exclusively people who are willing to put their lives on the line to protect? Don't try to protect me either, he wants to tell Ken. I'm the guy who runs towards bombs. God, how does he salvage this?

He can't. Not right now, anyway. He needs... he needs to talk to Minato. Maybe then he can make sense of what to do next.]


Protection has to do with more than just knowing how to be strong. Maybe you can find some direction, some -- some reason that way, you know? Before all this happened, did you ever think about what you wanted to be when you grow up?
