Chiba thought for a while before remembering what "those words" Valenti meant.
She shook her head, "I didn't teach her in detail. Jane thought of the whole process herself. I helped her with the weapons and maps, and took her to visit the floor she was on a few times."
"That's even more amazing," Valenti whispered. "Whether it's intuition or observation, it's amazing that Jane can hit the nail on the head, because she's saying exactly what Sean is most afraid of hearing. I think in In that moment of confrontation, she may have completely shattered the defense that Sean had carefully built over the past two years - albeit in a, um... too rough way."
"so?"
"After this battle, Sean can no longer think about taming Jane, because it is impossible. Her inner self is much harder and more solid than her appearance. Although Jane's past material environment It may be very bad, but she has been showered with the common love of many people. Since she has been truly loved by others and knows what it feels like to be cared for, it is impossible to deceive Sean's tricks with big sticks and sugar. she.
"Even if she loses everything, Jane can't lose herself and willingly become someone else's vassal. In contrast, Sean is full of ugliness. With Sean's character, I think he will not only not be close to Jane anymore, but will Will try every means to actively avoid her - Sean has always been very smart in this regard. After knowing the outcome of an incident, he will retreat quickly and will never be inexplicably stubborn."
"...are you praising him?"
"Maybe... it counts?" Valenti smiled, "I think this crisis may also be an opportunity for Sean. His barriers are too thick, and no one in the base can touch them except Calvin. His sincerity may sometimes be difficult for even Calvin to touch. The Hecla Wasteland is so special, and he had such a serious accident when he entered the base... It is really difficult to clear away the clouds and have a candid conversation with him. .
"As for how people like them can live in a habitable place, Calvin used to be a pretty good answer. Now, Jane has given another answer."
"How to say?"
Valenti thought for a while, "Calvin never cares about what other people think of him. He doesn't care what happens outside, and rarely thinks about problems that haven't happened yet. He only does what he needs to do at the moment.
"More importantly, all of Calvin's wishes were very specific: for example, buying a two-story house with a 600-square-meter backyard and a cellar, and he would keep three dogs in the yard... and so on. In the past two years, he has been getting closer to this goal every day.
"Jane's answer will be gentler, but also rarer - in a livable place, sometimes you will be lucky enough to meet friends like Liz, who will take care of you and help you. When others ask When you release kindness, you can also use the same kindness to repay them. This is how the connection between people is established. Maybe Calvin and Sean will encounter such an opportunity in the future, although it takes a little bit. Luck… but it’s not necessarily impossible.”
Chiba looked at Valenti quietly.
"Why are you looking at me like that again?" Valenti asked.
"When can I hear you analyze Jane's mental journey like this?"
"We can't do it now, it's too difficult, Masaki." Valenti shook his head and laughed, "To this day, we still know very little about Miss Hesta's past - but I think you don't have to worry too much about her. Worry."
"Huh? Are you too optimistic..."
"Of course I said that for a reason. When you asked me to find her in the parking lot a few days ago, I asked her a question." Valenti said with a smile, "I asked her, 'That day - It was the day you encountered chelate in the underground base. When you found a barrier door in the corridor that could be opened and closed manually, why did you choose to risk turning back instead of immediately putting the door down?', you guessed, Jane's answer was What?"
"Um?"
"Jane said, 'Because Turan is in the escape room, she may need help.'" Valenti said softly, "Someone once told her, 'The more difficult the situation we are in, the more we should help each other. This is the beginning of our civilization'."
For a moment, Chiba's heart was really shocked by this answer.
She was silent for a long time before she asked: "...Who taught her this?"
Valenti clasped his hands together, "It seems to be the nuns of St. Anne's Convent. What a respectable answer..."
After a while, Valenti moved closer to Chiba, "What about you, Masaki?"
"Me what?"
"Do you need help with anything now or these days?"
Chiba frowned at first, then looked away, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"That day, you suddenly let Jane go, and you haven't shown up at the base at all in the past few days... I still feel strange. You rarely miss appointments suddenly like this. Did something happen to you?" Valenti held up his arms with both hands. Behind him, his eyes were always looking at Qianye's profile, "If you are willing, you can talk to me."
Chiba sat there, just shaking her head. She gradually relaxed and lowered her head, holding her forehead with her hands, and remained silent in a tired tone.
After a long while, Qianye finally spoke in a low voice, "It's nothing. Molly and I... had a little disagreement. I've been thinking about it these past few days."
"What's up?"
"It's okay, just...a little tired."
"Is it really okay?"
Chiba sighed, tilted her body, and landed lightly on Valenti's shoulder.
Under the night, Tan Yi's old town was outlined with a faint warm light by the street lights. Chiba glanced at the time. In more than forty minutes, she should set off.
"Valenti."
"Um?"
"Do you think I can be a good guardian?"
Valenti's eyes widened slightly - she was really surprised by Chiba's question, but then she chuckled again.
"I don't know...recently I've also been doubting whether I can be a good consultant at the base."
"...Why?" Qianye looked at her, "What else are you not doing well enough?"
Valenti hugged her knees.
"It's just...the longer I spend with them growing up, the more I feel that what I can do is limited.
"I found that for some children, they have to hit some walls and hit their heads with blood before they start to listen to others and look for other solutions.
"As for other children, even if they hit their heads and were bleeding, they would not be reconciled and have the urge to smash themselves into it... In addition to staying with them, you can remind them from time to time that maybe it's time If we change the direction, what can we do?
"What's more terrible is that they are not ordinary children. If you expect them to be obedient and follow the rules, how can you expect them to be unexpected on a dangerous battlefield a few years later? Maybe, for Jane, for Turan, for Sean , Isn’t that the case..."
Valenti looked at Chiba, "I don't understand, I've never been on the battlefield, what do you think?"
