[Kratos does glance back, after a moment; because he knows he's asked a personal question, and at the very least Yuan deserves his attention for that. But -- what Yuan's describing sounds, honestly, like a kind of hell. Except the part about choosing battles; that, Kratos agrees with.]

It sounds as though you don't have any hope at all.

[And -- there's something odd, about the response. As if Yuan is placing responsibility on the world around him, instead of answering how he feels about what the world makes him suffer. It's ... interesting. It's different to what Kratos is used to -- having to shoulder the responsibility, always.

[... He's never thought about not shouldering the responsibility, before.]
