Some effort was better than none and it was clear that Tyrian was willing to do a bit of introspection every now and then. He had all the makings of a good leader, it was undeniable, but Hanako wasn't entirely sure she was allowed to think that, given he might be the enemy one day. But who knew how things might work out?
