Hmm...untrustworthy in the sense that, if they were at my back, I would be keeping an eye behind me at all times. Order can attract certain hero types just as chaos can attract certain backstabbers. However, you still get the tyrants, the ones who have no problem stabbing you in the back or throwing you under the bus if they see something in it for them. Just as in chaos, you'll get those vigilante types who won't mind lending a helping hand.
That sounds familiar. [He sounds almost polite.] Interesting, is it not, that the faeries will give us a choice, but the imps will just cut to the chase and kidnap you? When it comes to going home, however, I do not believe that either of them currently have that power. They have enough to bring us from our world to this one. Or perhaps the knowledge of sending Shardbearers back has been lost over the eons. At the end of the day, all that matters are shards to them.
Of course not. Neither am I, but sometimes it is a...necessity.
[Speaking from personal experience he is. Had Neku not changed as he did, Shibuya would've been no more, and Joshua would have ceased to be. There was a bigger picture than just Shibuya. His Game had far-reaching influence in Tokyo, and if his home had turned into a poison that would kill the whole city...well. He would take that sacrifice to prevent the whole city's destruction, and perhaps that was the true reason the Seelie had wanted him on their side.]
Simplicity such as that comes from being youthful. This, too, is a choice. You can choose to make it as simple or as complex as you wish. Only by keeping an open mind will more options open themselves up to you.
[He tilts his head, looking amused.]
Even if it was Nico or Jason trapped in that burning building? Sometimes, Hiro, there's no time for careful planning. I wonder what snap decision you'll make if it happens.
