Do I want to survive? [...] Well, to say otherwise would be rather bitter, coming from someone like me. I'm supposed to be the optimistic type, remember? Plus, I wouldn't be a very good mentor if I went around saying that I didn't want to do my best to survive whatever comes our way. It would be hypocritical of me to do so.

[...Except that's not a proper "yes" or "no" to answer this question with, and in a way, it almost sounds more like a reassurance that he is someone like that. He is the optimistic type, he is a good mentor that others can rely on, he's not a hypocrite...]

Besides, there were good things that I don't want to forget, especially the people that I've met and befriended here. If we don't survive, and thus lose all of the fun memories that were made with everyone here, it would be a real shame, wouldn't it?
