Then do what you want.

[That's Caelus's choice. Kanda has no interest in arguing with him or pressuring him one way or the other. Kanda isn't as judgmental over it as he might seem; he's simply pushed hard here where he felt he had to, trying, in his own way, to help people come to terms with bitter necessities. But all he can do is share his own brand of wisdom, born of lifetimes of horrific experiences; if Caelus wants to reject it and walk his own path, that's his prerogative.

But it's Kanda's, too. He's more tolerant than he used to be, more willing to extend a hand in his own clumsy, grouchy, poorly communicated ways, but he's never going to be gentle or openly caring. The chances of him becoming someone like that died over nine years ago. And his role as an exorcist still comes first, anyway. They may be potentially shielded from even the Earl, here, but that doesn't mean sentiment isn't dangerous. Kate's the prime example of that.]
