[Despite all this talk of making Chuuya his, in truth, Mephisto knows that is hardly his endgame goal in making Chuuya shine as much as he possibly can. It's merely a necessary first step -- in which Mephisto is the hand that reaches out to draw him from the murk that he's been lost in ever since the Storm took his place from him.]

[But clearly Chuuya is on the right path, to see that protecting what's important to himself is how he ought to stride. After all, Mephisto has spent more than enough time watching over humanity to know that freeing oneself from the past that ties them down and embracing the connections they hold dear to them in the present is the true way in which humans find strength.]
