As long as I follow this path, i'll always have a value. Having listened to Valentines exposition, Nenka gave his own response. As long as Nenka used the time had been granted on this earth for a good cause, his life definitely had value.
Life is one of the most valuable gifts in this world, given to everyone equally, but also taken very easily. But even then, the survivors guilt he suffered wouldn't dissipate so easily.Įven though Nenka hoped Valentine would say something in the vein of 'Yes, your life matters', the message was still positive enough to make him feel some validation. He would simply be a disgrace in death and failed his dead friends. He couldn't have that happen, as it would render them all meaningless. If he did heroic things and then went on to die, they would be simply undone in his absence.
They admitted they didn't understand what a hero was too well, but Nenka was slightly moved by what he said next.
They did have a point though, death would mean an inability to follow through on their ideals and see if the actions they had took would ultimately matter. The idea that he somehow needed to die a hero to redeem himself for his failures and the death of his friends who had idealised the same thing as him. Valentine firmly countered Nenka's feelings.
