[At the end of the day, Noah can preach about how self-sacrifice is stupid all he wants, but if everything came to a head and there was no other way out, he'd be the first to stay behind so that others could survive. Hypocritical, yes, but he'd honestly rather it be him than them.
Which is not, of course, to say he wants to end up in a glass case or displayed like some doll. Self-sacrificing is the stupidest thing someone could do, and that's why it's only a last resort.]
And what about you? [They've already sort of discussed Komaeda's stance on the issue, and so Noah adds,] You said you'd be willing to sacrifice yourself for "hope", but the way you talk about it makes me think you wouldn't fight tooth and nail for self-preservation before deciding to throw in the towel and die. Am I reading you right?
[It's not like Komaeda had bothered to answer his earlier question anyway, and Noah won't be shocked if this one goes unanswered. Still, it would be good information to have. What, exactly, is he up against in this place? What lengths will he have to go to, to ensure that everyone can survive? He doesn't want to butt heads with anyone if he can help it, but Komaeda poses a unique problem, one he's never faced before. Would Komaeda kill someone else in the name of this hope? That's the most concerning possibility that Noah can think of right now.]
