[There are a lot of things in that that probably should catch his attention, and in fairness, some of them do - this person has never heard of "forced" world movement, and that's a strange modifier to put in front of that concept; the continued discussion about lack of ability implies...something, maybe some sort of power that was taken away - he thinks he remembers hearing something about this world doing that. People with magic can't access it anymore. Something like that. It sounds ridiculous to him, but if this person is implying that he has magic powers then...well, Ishimaru can't really say that they don't.
Given his past experiences, there's probably something he should be wary of in the assertion that what this person desires can be carried out in any possible world, but the fact is that he isn't; after all, that would be the ideal, right? That's what he would want, if given the option.]
I was a student back home, with plans to go into politics. I guess it's technically still possible to continue my studies and find some sort of career that would allow me to help people here, but I had personal reasons for all of it that I don't have here.
...I think that's what's bothering me, actually - it's not so much that I can't do anything, as it is that doing what I was before seems pointless now. The possibility to carry out the goal itself in some way hasn't been taken away, but the reasons for doing it have.
[...huh. Wow.]
I hadn't thought about it that way before, but I guess it makes sense. But I'm getting off-topic, sorry; most of my activities until now have been centered around studying and preparation for my career. I'm still working out what I actually prefer.
What about you? You sound as though you've seen other worlds before, at least - is moving between them something you do often?
