...Yeah, not far enough.

[he frowns a little bit, though.]

I don't think any of us should feel particularly peaceful about something like this happening.

[unsaid]

[he laughs faintly to himself]

Not right away, certainly not. I understand, if it will take time to carry with us. To mourn, until the feeling or our lives meet their end.

... but at once, I hope it does not break anyone's spirit.

[he nods.]

I think... There has to be a middle ground between not letting it bother us at all, and letting it bother us enough that we give up. I think when something like this happens, it should matter to us, but I hope it can make us even more determined to not let this happen again.

[unsaid]

That is certainly the hope, is it not?

[ . . . ]

I shall believe in your hope then, Rupert.

[he nods, with a small smile.]

I know we'll all do our best next time, too.
