[ It's not too surprising to hear Viktor talk about it this way. She knows he's far from emotionless, but it's true that the other does tend to look at things from a more logical point of view first and foremost - something Chizuru herself isn't quite as used to doing, being such an emotional person.
But she can try to go along with it. Maybe it'll help him figure it out better if she can get him to look at it from that point of view after all..? ]
Then.. [ Her voice trails off for a moment, having to think about it, but then she speaks on. ] What do you think is the worst thing that could happen?
[ That's viewing it logically, right? ]
And how big do you think the chance of that exact thing happening is..?
I suppose that the person in question hurts others that may have been able to prevent it if they were forewarned. [he settles on after a moment, tapping his fingers against his cup.]
As for the chance, it's hard to say. One who knows her far better than I has faith, but also a great deal of attachment. And the circumstances that led to the attack... they were far greater than any of us.
[it is good to flesh it out this way, makes the whole picture easier to examine. he offers chizuru a grateful smile quirking at one side of his mouth.]
[ That's Chizuru's very careful assessment - or perhaps it's sympathy, judging by the look in her eyes when she looks at Viktor. Chizuru hasn't had to deal with this sort of thing at all, the dangers of home brought to this place instead, but she can imagine that it's difficult to weigh those against everything else here, difficult to decide on how to deal with them.
Especially since Viktor is so responsible. She's glad he can even smile a little bit at all, given the circumstances.. ]
I'm sorry you have to deal with it all. I can imagine it's.. a really difficult decision to make. Thinking about what to do here..
[ Her voice trails off for a moment, but then she shakes her head, snapping herself back to reality. ]
But-- Viktor, if you need help with anything at all.. You know you can always ask me, right? I.. um, I know there's not much I can do, especially when it comes to things like these.. but whenever there's anything I can do to help at all, I don't mind doing it.
