[There was some light that returned to his eyes after Saiduq spoke. Hiro couldn't grasp it fully, but he could understand that this deeply affected Saiduq too. And him and Ai might have not been any more similar. His cheeks did hurt slightly, but it wasn't blinding pain. If his body was fully human, then maybe it would've hurt more than it meant to be.
He's quiet for a moment before speaking up again. As much as he tried to read conversations and get a feel of personalities, he couldn't read minds to know exactly what people are thinking. So of course, he could misinterpret things and make a huge mistake. He couldn't remember the last time he's messed up this badly...]
... No. Because the two of you are making your own choices and deciding to take control of your lives. Living has different definitions for everyone else, but it's... It's always been all about making choices in my opinion.
[That was the grand difference between Saiduq and the Septentriones and Triangulum. Could those monsters really have been 'living'? Could they really have been considered 'people'? Just like the demons too...]
But... I don't get it. What do you two see in me that you can't see in anyone else? I really don't do anything special.
[Even Yamato who was the previous Shining One in his place had a lot more going than him. Hiro wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth or had any of the resources that the Hotsuin family had. He knew their situation was absolutely crazy, yet... Compared to Yamato who had all the means to save the world, Hiro was just dragged into the situation. Sure, he enjoyed the fact that he was a part of something bigger than himself. But, but... There was just something he had to know.]
Anyone can make people smile and laugh. Anyone can protect people. Anyone could've used the Demon Summoning App and killed the supernatural. Anyone can make bonds even if I'm not there. Replace me with someone else and the results would've been the same if not even better.
[There was the second world where he didn't exist at all. So, he didn't exactly know how everything went down. All he knew is that everyone nearly died because he didn't exist, but for sure... Hiro thought if anyone else took his spot, then a victory could've happened. Maybe. Probably.]
At the end of the day, I'm just a normal guy compared to everyone else. What do you guys see in me that I can't see?
