"If he enjoys the fights more than he cares about their feelings something is wrong with him. Then again, you say he is not loyal to anyone. I think that explains everything you need to know there," Diarmuid is trying hard not to let the disdain he feels toward this man show in his voice since he obviously helped Tohko, but some of it still slips through and, in the end, he decides it is best to switch topics before he says something that might upset her.

However, the other topic of conversation is also something that makes him uneasy. He can understand a little better now why she feels this person might be able to be saved--after all, isn't he one who looks for any sign that someone can be saved as well--but the longer that he stays in the tower, the more Diarmuid is starting to wonder if everyone can be redeemed after they have fallen.

"What if that good part of him really is dead, Tohko? What if life has changed him so much he can never be what he once was again?"
