Dammit! I'm not saying it's wrong! I can't say that the way someone feels is wrong! I can only say how I feel about it! I'm not saying that fighting for peace and winning it in this place shouldn't be something celebrated!
I've wanted to live in that peace all my life! And I got to for as long as I was here because of everyone!
[A loud thud of a noise because Kushina has just slammed a fist on a table -- starting a crack that will probably only get bigger.]
And you can hate me all you want for saying it, Saori. I'm not changing my mind. Fate didn't give me any sort of choice before and it's not even giving me a choice now if this is what it is. It's a farce of a choice. What's to say that this world won't send everyone back no matter what we choose? It's done it in the past, no matter how badly we want to stay.
I don't belong here and you agreed with me that we're not supposed to be here.
If fate is what's at hand right now, it's playing a pretty cruel joke on everyone in pretending that we can decide. The only choice I have now is deciding how I feel about it, just like everyone else feels right now. I had the choice to say it out loud. For once, I could have the chance to leave when I want to. When that time comes I can go back instead of live and dread it being decided for me as long as I'm here.
This place is as fickle as autumn skies but at least people are free to decide what they want, and I'm free to decide what I want. I think it's stupid to believe that staying here isn't choosing a bigger risk than leaving. I want people to be happy too, I want them to live, I want them to enjoy the peace we have now. I want them to be with their friends and family until they grow old.
But not here. Not when it can be taken away just as quickly as it's given to us. Being told that this place hasn't always been so peaceful and people had to fight so much and so much was sacrificed... can it ever feel like a real victory? I don't remember it but if things could be changed that way it could happen again. It could happen over and over. That's not the sort of world someone should live in, bending to the whims of a force they can't control.
