[ Things to live for, instead of reasons he's alive...
That it's something he can't answer right away is telling enough, and it...chafes, to realize as much, to confront so plainly just how muddled and messy his own humanity is. Perhaps Winter is more well-adjusted than most, but Satoru would wager that most people could pinpoint easily what they're living for. Their passions, their family, their friends...and yet here he is, a man who could hold the world in the palm of his hand and crush it if he so chose. A man who has lived under constant thread of danger and death since the moment he was born, to the point where even staying here has been a shock to his system.
A man who is experiencing real, genuine human connection in ways he hasn't in ten long years.
It's not so unlike that fateful question Suguru had once asked him. If he's alive to be the strongest...then what is he living for? What is Gojo Satoru living for?
He closes his eyes, as Winter advises, exhaling through his nose. ]
For my students. For them to have a better tomorrow than today.
[ ...though for the first time in a very long time, he realizes...that isn't all he wants to live for. That doesn't quite cover it. ]
