[Well that was an obvious enough reason, but it didn't explain why Luke felt he needed to become stronger. Tear suspected that the answer to that was probably equally obvious, but...
She pondered a moment.]
I suppose I can understand that. I also feel that becoming stronger is a necessity.
Originally, I wanted to become strong so that I'd be useful to Van... When I was small, things weren't always so easy for him. After I discovered that, like Van, I could use the Seventh Fonon, I decided that I'd help my brother by joining the Oracle Knights.
That was my reason back then, but not anymore...
This world... no, this universe, is so very fragile. There are countless people who are oppressed or misunderstood and they can do nothing to defend themselves. Even if they're people whom I've never met, or could never hope to meet, it doesn't seem right to stand idly by when there's something I can do to help them.
I think that there are times when one must become strong in order to protect himself, and times when one must become strong in order to protect other people. Perhaps I'm pursuing both of these ends.
