Wan straightened with Leo, his shoulders squaring as he listened. The look the turtle gave him was clearing one of expectation. Was he hoping for agreement? Or to be told he was wrong?

Well, if it was the second, then Wan would oblige as he replied, "No. I don't think so. It's not knowing what the bigger threat is that keeps me going. It's never been the threat that's kept me moving forward. It's knowing what I could lose if I don't fight. Knowing what I've already lost, and knowing what the world stands to lose if I don't."

He sighed and slid his fingers into the water, managing somehow to not scare the fish off.

"Some threats are bigger than others and taking care of them is important... But if I focus just on those threats, I'll lose sight of what matters more. The people that will be hurt if I don't succeed. If I do that, then I'm just as likely to hurt those people as the enemy I face."
