"Keith, we've heard stories of people who rose from this world and, during their era, actually changed it," Kiro said as he rubbed his chin.
"But as you can see, it always comes back to the same thing."
"You can dream. You can pursue whatever you want."
"But that idealistic world you're imagining isn't possible."
"This is the result of years and years and years of evolution."
"It can't simply be changed by a single person."
"Besides, this world is built on the principle that the strong prey on the weak."
"So no, children won't be safe no matter how hard you try," Kiro said.
Keith closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"But I won't say it's impossible."
"After all, if we can go against the Heavens themselves and defy our fate to become stronger, then I suppose making the world safer for children might also be possible," Kiro said as he patted Keith on the shoulder.
Keith nodded.
However, Kiro failed to notice the new look in Keith's eyes as they continued their day.
