Akira. [He reaches and grabs him by the wrists.] You did the right thing. If something tells you humanity should end, that it isn't worth saving, you fight it. You fight Manaka and her beast. You fight your grail. Because it isn't what it says it is. It isn't the will of humanity. Humanity persists. It survives. It thrives.

Just like you. You are alive. Not just here, but to even be here, you are alive. And if you, and your friends, and your world are worth saving, it will be saved. Because that would truly be the will of humanity.
