There is a certain realism mixed in with the bitter unhappiness of what it results in that Zenos could at least admire a bit. This wasn't some foolish 'I'll save everyone no matter what!' idealism that would get people dead. It didn't sound like Taiki was about to throw himself into the jaws of his own demise simply to try to save every life.

"Hm. Let none shame you for the desire for peace for all life, even if nature itself refutes such a thing." It sounded like it was a path to misery to him, but some people couldn't help their kindness. "There are many who desire such, and would work towards it in ways they can. If there were more with such a mindset, mayhap the city above would not be in ruins, and our intervention not necessary."

But there were so few to save now, even if they wanted to save everyone.
