[ She should be proud of it! It's hard to become a doctor!!! Is what Matt would say, if he could read minds without the aid of mystic crystal-enabled soul-sharing. For the moment, he takes in her recollection of the conversation with interest. He wonders if it means anything that this god echoes some of his world's religions regarding the fallibility of the divine. He's always believed most religions hold at least a fragment of the capital-T truth, but could that translate to something ... programmatic? Something to build natural laws on?
Maybe all it means is that sentient creatures, on a long enough timeline, come up with the same explanations for the world's painful failures. Or maybe something else Matt hasn't thought of yet. At any rate, he doesn't seem to find anything Gavial has to say cheesy. ]
I don't even know what perfect world would look like, to be honest. Maybe the act of translating perfection to a material world always loses you something. [ A quirking smile. ] Or maybe I just don't have a good enough imagination.
I'm curious, though ... and if this is too personal or you don't want to talk about it, no worries. But when you have to make the call, as a doctor, and somebody's really sick ...
In those cases where it's hard to tell, how do you choose? And how do you-- [ A sheepish smile. ] I mean, I'd be a shitty doctor. But how do you move on, after?
