[ can't disagree there. anyone who wants that much power or shrugs it off probably shouldn't have it. ]
From what I've seen... Scien was the default leader of our country for a few decades, and he holed himself up in the Institute only focusing on his research so he could save as many lives as possible. People mistook him for a god, and I think ultimately that's what led to... how we lost him.
[ . . . ]
I think the only thing that could've saved him would've been more outstretched hands. People who'd cross the boundary... even if convincing him to take them would've been a trial worthy of suffering Hades. [ yves loves scien but he also knows scien is a bitch ] No one could replace him in his role and responsibility, no. No one else could do what Scien did.
... but at least he wouldn't have been so alone, when he started to lose what he cherished.

But I do wonder if there's a way to do it without being suffocated, a little. So far I haven't received any positive answers.
