[MATSUI IS CORRECT. He hasn't had an easy life, but all his suffering has been on a very individual level.
Kaveh's quiet, though, as he takes that in. Now he feels bad... he already felt bad... now he feels worse...]
...I suppose that's true. I apologize for speaking selfishly. [A pause, as he gathers his thoughts.] But even during such times, there are always people who want to help others, no?
[HELP it's okay, there's truly no winning when it comes to this Sad Lad with Big Feelings.
And Matsui's words help, insomuch as words can do anything at all in this situation. He smiles a little, and his shoulders lower slightly--not nearly enough to be called "relaxed," but it's a start, at least.]
...Then it's my responsibility to do the same, whatever form that may take here.
[Kaveh you are too good to be in this group of murderous weirdos. also i keep typing kaven help
Matsui will let this lad be his optimistic self because who is he to argue?? But he does, at least, have a thin word of warning.]
Just be sure that you don't stretch yourself too thin, or attempt to help the wrong individuals. In a high stakes situation such as this, it is unwise to underestimate the desperation of your opponents, or to expect that everyone - or even others at all - will share your desire to aid.
Also Kaveh is truly just here like "damn I need to do a better job at looking like I'm okay." But he nods--dejected, but not hurt or offended or anything.]
[Dejected at the reminder is better than this fool doing something nice and getting murdered for it... Matsui just nods.]
Very well, then. As long as you keep that in mind, then I'm sure you will be able to offer aid safely. Or as safe as one can be in circumstances like this.

It is nothing to apologize for. [A small but genuine smile.] In an ideal world, everyone would be able to think in the way that you do.
[Calling murderers abnormal... Some are, to be fair... RANG. As for the rest of that, the smile falters a little and thins, but he still nods.]
That is true, as far as I've experienced it.

Yes, I know. I'll draw the line when I must.
