You've got it. It's not like I'm doing it because it's fun. It's give and take. I take the sins and suffering of others into myself, and allow others to be purified through my pain.

[It's a concept he knows many others wouldn't want to understand, since self-sacrifice is not a natural part of being human. People are selfish. It's odd for someone to do something that's so detrimental to one's self for the sake of others on a constant basis.]

Oh, Alice, that's too kind of you. [He beams wide, his eyes bright.] Of course I'll visit you! I mean, I can't imagine, a house all by yourself...you know what, do you have plants there? Flowers? I can bring some to brighten it up, if you'd like!
