[He doesn't know much about emperors, but they're leaders, aren't they? And he'd grown up watching Master Leonardo endure the weight of leading the rebellion. He'd been a full adult by the time Casey was born, in his thirties during his earliest memories. Hunter's not that old, maybe around his age. And Casey himself had felt such terrible pressure, believing that it was on him to save the world, and that was only for a day or so. He doesn't know how long it's been for Hunter, but it sounds like it's been a while. He must be exhausted by now, on some level.]
