I don't really know a whole lot about complicated, worldly things. But I think parents and siblings, they need to be able to care for each other unconditionally. How many people could you risk your life to protect? Not that many, I bet. Everyone's top priority is taking care of themselves. But if there's anyone who can overcome that, it's flesh and blood. If you understand that feeling, then you can look at other people, and realize, this person's family cares about them, too. That's a really heavy feeling. When you think about that, it becomes a lot harder to do horrible things to them. So I think that love for your family..is really at the root of what it means to care for other people. Mohiro Kitoh

So if my death looks like a sad story to someone else, I hope those people will use their imagination to think of all the children who don't get special deaths. Mohiro Kitoh
