( stop being selfish! he pauses, staring at npckun as he thinks over their request. save him... )

Yes. I've saved him once... so why can't I do it again?

( it was komaeda's knowledge and actions, it was his voice that decided whether he lived or died, it might have been better then to let him die. if he didn't exist, what would the other have done? how would that contract have worked there? plain and simple, they probably wouldn't be an arata. )

I'll save him. There's people who care about him, so don't give up on us.
