"I am proud of you Setsuna. You kept yourself in one piece, and I know you've been helping other people too. All when you were dealing with this stuff and keeping it a secret. I don't approve of the keeping secrets part, but you did good kiddo. Keeping yourself alive is a pretty impressive feat." One he wished the kid didn't have to be an expert at.
