[Souji's sitting on his couch with several books stacked beside him and origami cranes lining the window sill behind him. He's not looking directly at the camera when the feed comes on, but the way he sits back a little as it starts indicates that he turned it on intentionally.

He's quiet for a few seconds, as though he's listening to something. Then he looks at the device, pensive.]

How much should someone worry about the future? Or is the present more important?

[He isn't addressing anyone in particular, but he sounds like he needs a second (actually a seventh) opinion on this.]

and theres n0 p0int in w0rrying ab0ut the present because n0 matter what y0u d0 y0ull still end up with the same future
everything y0u d0 will lead t0 the same inevitable result as every0ne else

whatever that r0le might be
every0ne has a part t0 play
even if they d0nt realize it
we exist because we were meant t0 exist
