Only if we'd actually be able to convince people to change things in the first place. A lot of people...felt really strongly about certain things today.

...don't get too caught up in stuff, Mizuki. There's a lot of things that happen here that you shouldn't have to worry about unless you really want to.
I think you're really the only one who can decide that for yourself. Does it matter what other people think when you're the one who has to live with how you feel about things?
