[ there's a sombre note there, one that speaks to a helplessness that oda supposes is inherent in kids. truth to be told, oda feels like he should feel more out of his depth. confusion, perhaps. a spark of conflict. some nameless emotion that can only be elicited from the prospect of the end of the world.
but he feels nothing. it had been all over for him, back then. this is just a continuation of that. it strikes oda that he ought to change the topic to something a little less upsetting, if only for the kid's sake. but oda's never been one to change predestined paths. he simply goes with the cards that he's been dealt. ]
Wait and see what happens next, whatever that is. [ someone once said that to him. it wasn't all that long ago. it's sound advice, which is why he's repeating it. ] Figure it out then. You've got time.
[ there's no rush in getting all the answers. what the people who yanked them out of their worlds have done is given them more time, for better or for worse. might as well use that time. ]
