( Mika can't stand discourse because he knows he's right, but here he is anyway. People like this are frustrating for him - who concede but don't relent; who can rearrange every little wrong into a smaller detail in an overall bright portrait of the world - one Mika can't see, has never seen, not since he was born.
He's looked. He's looked and he's looked, but he's only ever found sunlight in other people. He can't understand what Akira's so he sees. )
Don't tell me what I think when you don't know me. ( Hmph. ) Say we entertain this idea of yours - that change is possible on some broader scale. What would this utopian society look like? How would it even occur, when humans are at odds with their own nature?
( Forget Mika's - forget the idea of Mika setting aside his nature, as Akira suggested, to see the good in people. Tell him: what good is he even supposed to see to begin with? )
The moment you give a human a little bit of power, they'll abuse it. The moment a human knows there's more to get than what they'll have, they'll forsake as many others as they need to get it. How can something as fundamental as a a human's nature change?
