[ Xiao can't say he's surprised. Haruka's lead a more civilian-oriented lifestyle, despite being a prominent figure back at home. He hasn't quite faced the same perils that people like Shuda and Temenos probably have.

Like Xiao has.

It doesn't mean that Haruka doesn't know pain and suffering. It's just...different. Maybe he can put his feelings in a way that might be easier for Haruka to understand. ]

While I agree that they were reckless in their approaches today, I sympathize. I was once chided for the same thing, not too long ago.

[ He looks at Haruka. ]

I can tell you about it, if you'd like.
