No, you probably don't, but such choices have been taken from us.

...

And just what is that supposed to mean?

It means just as it sounds, I'm afraid. Anatole is an inescapable city and whether you like it or not, this is where you are.

I've already been through this with others. Of course there's a way out. There's always a way out. It just depends on whether you are willing to take the risks necessary to find it.

And you are willing to take whatever risks necessary?

[There's a bit of a grave pause on his end.]

That's right.

That's quite the dangerous line of thinking.

[ Very dangerous. And people like that are definitely not his favorite people. ]

[A sound of annoyance.]

Not you as well. Is this a dimension full of condescending cowards? It's no wonder none of you ever leave.

Caution and cowardice are two different things. Not all risks are worth the final result.

Especially if that result doesn't get you anywhere.

And how do you know for certain the effort will be fruitless?

How do you know for certain that you will get any results?

Because it's a better option than admitting failure from the start. I'd rather regret something I did than something I was too cowardly to pursue.

You seem to misunderstand the practice of caution. Testing theories and proving there is a chance is far more useful than throwing caution to the wind and failing.

... I am plenty cautious.

[However, his defensive tone seems to suggest the opposite.]

Hmn.

[ Not agreement, not suspicion. Simply a sound of thought. Not that he believes what he's heard. ]

Is that so? Then you'll do well to exercise it here. There are some things even taking a few risks won't change.

I guess only time will tell which things those are.
