...Even in the unlikely event that you can't rejoin the SDF, I'm sure you can find another path. There's a great deal of meaningful work that needs to be done in this world.

[A lot of which would probably require Manabu to do some studying, but hey.]

[Grey had, after all.]

But you know... If you decide you really can't go back, I wouldn't mind letting you travel with me.
