[Not that long ago, she had been speaking with much the same thing with Izutsumi. Why Venat helped other people in the course of her adventures. Why she put effort into reaching out. Venat's answer had been somewhat simpler -- because she enjoyed it -- but if she were to break it down, she might come up with much the same things as she'd suggested for Maruki.]
[But more than that, she'd ever long thought about humanity's purpose, its goal. Its answer. Why people did what they did, why they chose the purposes they chose. And so often, the answer was related to something they'd endured. Some pain or hardness, that made them stronger. What better reason to choose a path of healing, than to defy that darkness?]
If there were one answer that would satisfy everyone, I would give it to you. I doubt there is. But I think perhaps people will feel more comfortable, if you can explain how you benefit as well. It can hardly be selfish if you gain from it, can it?
This next part grows steep, I warn you.
[And, since the stick had done very little to help him, Venat extends a hand to him instead.]

She's just GOOD AT THIS (besides that would be metagaming if I had and did this!)
