Yusei's eyes soften somewhat. "Well, yes, but..."

He seems to stop himself from answering, then shakes his head. Some things can't really be understood with just definitions, they have to be experienced for themselves. This man(?) is at least making an effort, but that can only go so far...and somehow, Yusei doesn't think he'll really get what he's trying to say. Something like empathy...trying to make someone feel it, or be aware of it...that wouldn't really work.

"It's like that. Some people do it on purpose, to make their jobs easier. Others, they lose it through trauma...and there are some who were just never able to understand it."

He smiles wanly. "It's somewhat funny. Empathy's not something we need to live, per se, but to live as a person...? It's essential. It all comes down to how you want to live, I think...but thank you. Knowing the answer...it might not immediately lead to a solution, and it might create more doubts, but it'll clear my mind of at least a few questions."
