I'm gonna be honest with you, kid. If you're looking for that Glass Half Full shpiel, you're barking up the wrong tree. There's crap in the world. There's always gonna be crap in the world, and you and me are gonna have the same ending- sad and bloody. That's just the way it is, it's just a fact.

[Well. This is off to an inspiring start.]

But we don't stay strong for ourselves, Chihiro. We don't fight for ourselves. We fight for everybody else- because the one thing that we can do with this crappy little life we get is to try and help people have something better than the hand we've been dealt. And I want you to know I'm gonna do everything I can to keep you from going back to that shitty ending you came from, but in the meantime... Just because something's gonna end sad doesn't mean you should make it sad while you've got the opportunity to make it happy. I'm sorry your friend left, but you gotta use that to appreciate the ones you've still got here.

And above all- you can't give up, Chi. You just can't.
