I know he's less pampered than you think, and that he believes the bullshit he's rambling on about. As for the rest...

[He just offers a scoff and a careless shrug, though his thoughts linger on his charge.

Because while what he'd said is true - it's what makes people like Sion so dangerous - his resolve isn't for selfish gains, but for all those around him. It's for an elusive greater good that only he can really see, because the rest of the petty souls surrounding him are too focused on getting what they want for themselves.

It's what makes him a target, and a liability, for those that own the market share of the Company.

The twist and drag of his thoughts are convoluted enough that, when the last question falls between them, Kanda's gaze goes flat, his answer seemingly automatic.]

Fuck no. But they're going to keep talking while the Quad burns around them. Hells, they're the ones holding the matches.

[And all they need is a spark.

Whether that be someone like Sion, faith in the world undampened by its suffering, seeking a misguided solution doomed to fall between his fingers, or someone like Rhys, willing to use the emaciated shoulders of the weak and weary as a stepping stone to greatness - Takasugi will be there to strike flint against steel.

As he looks out over the mingling delegates, all he sees is dry tinder.] Aa. It does all seem rather hopeless, doesn't it? [He delights in such a predicament.] But it seems as if they always find a way to prolong the inevitable.

Though for some it's simply dragging out their suffering.
