Gritting his teeth – how dare he complain about life when other people have far worse problems – Genza forced out:
– I was in the temple of the sea goddess; even when at the very bottom, languishing in poverty and obscurity, and breathing the dust of the desert, they still spread their word. You came to fight – so fight, despite the crappy situation that fate has dealt you. Otherwise, everyone will decide that your sea is a sham, and you are a poser who gave up. It’s your choice.
Letting these words sink in, he enters the battle.
