But- I also think that even if you think he's closer than you want him to be, you're stronger, and you still know what's right and what's wrong. You just have to believe in it.
I mean, that's what I do. And I know it sounds really lame but it works. I'm still practicing to learn the Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III, and well- let's just say I have a lot of bad memories attached to it.
The more I practice it, or even practice to get better, in a way, I feel like I'm becoming more like my old man. And it bothers me, because I don't want to be like him. At all.
But... there's still something that tells me that I have to be better than him, in order to pull away. To keep myself above my old man's shadow. It's not much, but it's why I keep playing, and keep going, because I believe in it. So- maybe you can find a reason too.
...I know that comparing Blitzball to this hollow probably isn't the best thing, but the idea is the same, I think.
