... There's nothing else that I'm any good at, though...

[He's kept training since his arrival, mostly in case Akutagawa woke up and demanded their fight, but the latter never did end up happening. So Atsushi is in decent shape for defending whoever he wants, but at the same time, that doesn't give him the peace he wants this planet to have. By the time his ability comes in handy, it will already be too late.

He's neither rich enough nor important enough (nor, if you ask him, smart enough) to be a politician. And even if he was, what would he do - step right up to the Empress and ask if she could pretty please avoid going to war? (Actually, he would do just that, if he could. Maybe in time...) So he's stuck waiting for shit to inevitably hit the fan, and trying his best to deal with the fall-out.]


For fun...? [He asks like it's a foreign concept - but then, with his mind stuck on war and peace, it might as well be.] There are lounge areas with TV and games, and you can train by doing simulations...

[Neither of those seem appropriate, though. Atsushi couldn't help but notice that yawn.]

... If you're tired, I recommend resting up in the sleeping quarters. Once you can go down to the planet, there's no telling what you'll find down there, and when you can get any sleep.

[Which sounds like a very dramatic exaggeration, and maybe it is, but it's still not far from the truth.]
