Different things. More like the lake cats, or other monsters like that.

There is a lot of danger in this world, and not many people strong enough to handle it.

[diesifkilled]

...That's what heroes are for.

[Or at least they're supposed to be. But this camp, much like Archer, spits in the face of everything Shirou thinks a hero should be.]

A cat is a hero to men, who see it as a source of comfort and protection from vermin. But that same cat is a monster to mice, who only see it as a predator.

[diesifkilled]

It shouldn't be like that.

[It's not enough. Everyone should be saved.]

[backspacing]

[...wow Shirou you're dense.]

My point is that one person's hero is another person's monster.

[diesifkilled]

[He is super dense.]

You don't need to tell me that. I know how the world works.

[Doesn't mean he has to like it.]

[backspacing]

[At least it's adorable.]

If you say so.

[diesifkilled]

I'm not that stupid, okay. I know it's not possible to make everyone happy. I just... don't like it.

[backspacing]

Maybe instead focus on what you can do?

[diesifkilled]

What if what I can do isn't enough, though?

[backspacing]

Then you keep trying, until it is.

[diesifkilled]

...Yeah. I guess that's all there is to it, really.

[backspacing]

Pretty much.

[That smile though, it gets her to smile a bit too.]

[diesifkilled]

Heh, I can't believe I needed to be reminded of something so obvious. It's not like I haven't failed before and gotten up again.
