[Simon nodded firmly.]

I was able to bring medical care to people who may not have had it otherwise. I wouldn't mind making a career out of it, if I ever go back home... find some like-minded doctors, get together some funding, make some way for people to make appointments. [It wasn't likely to happen, but Simon could still dream.]

[shoujoreject]

That's pretty ambitious. [He's plainly impressed, and his smile hasn't faded.] You should say 'when', I think. There's no sense in assuming something might not happen, right?

[pompous_today]

It is... but I feel like it is doable. Too many people on wealthy planets like mine are blind to how people struggle... I could find enough help, I'm sure of it.

[He sighed.]

I suppose so... I have been here for so long, though, part of me can't help but be a little pessimistic.

[shoujoreject]

That's true no matter what the year, I suppose. [He frowned a little, then shook his head.] Ah. That's what you have others for though, no? Little reminders. Any situation is ultimately transitional - or so my grandparents always say. [Haa. He wondered how his family was, back at home... it didn't show on his face, but still.]

[Simon smiled quietly.]

Others... I do need to get out here and socialize more. It's... hard sometimes for me to not just keep to myself, not to simply relate to people just as a doctor and not as a friend as well.

I think a lot more people fall into that trap than we realise. [He shook his head, sipping his drink again.] It's much easier, taking an outside position. Seeing people through the glass, from whichever side you happen to think yourself on.
