"Of course, I have to protect it," Allen said seriously with one hand on the camera, "Just like a lance is a warrior's life, a camera is a photographer's life."
"..." Koa Jackson glanced at him.
"Bro," Allen was clearly dissatisfied with his reaction and said earnestly, "Can you perform surgery without a scalpel?"
"A doctor's duty is to save lives; can it be the same?" Koa was very proud of his professional identity.
"Why isn't it the same?" Allen's two delicate eyebrows furrowed as he continued matter-of-factly, "You save lives, while we save souls. A doctor saves a life with one surgery, but sometimes a photographer can save many souls with one photo."
"Hmm," Koa looked at him with raised eyes, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his lips as he continued indifferently, "Without a soul, a person is a walking corpse, but without life, they're just a mound of earth."
"..." Allen opened his mouth to look at him but couldn't find words.
