Mikhail nodded attentively, before saying:

"Have you found out what targets are we going to war against?" Privately, the boy hoped that the Russian Mafiya would be among them; they were the ones who had killed the 16-year old's parents, after all. "Also, what provisions can be made for the safety of our homefront, while we or I go out to attack?"

"And, are there any other Catalysts or Champions of positive emotions?" 

While waiting for an answer to his questions, Mikhail mused on Siegfried's words. While the boy still believed in a God, his beliefs were accomodating enough to allow for the existence of beings like Hope, just as they were accomodating of...other things. Besides, Siegfried/Hope's actions were all good, and people should be judged according to their actions, not their state of being.
