"Do 'you' believe protecting humans is of utmost importance?" Micheal asked her with a straight tone, telling her he had a straight face. "Even at the risk of putting your own life on the line? Do you think it's worth it when they could end up turning their backs on you at the slightest chance just to save their own skin? Do you think... The lives of others are more important than yours?"
Alice lowered her head as she thought about this. Well, he wasn't wrong. Humans were self-conceited. They were far worse than monsters and their souls could be darker than night.
But not all humans, right? There were some with a soul purer than white. And there were some whose smiles and happiness brought about goodness in the world.
Those people... those smiles and happiness, were what the heroes strived to protect.
But... Who was a hero after all?
Someone who puts others above themselves? Someone who fights for justice and freedom?
