Satoru squints at him, mildly annoyed, but also comforted. He can feel the sorrow emanating from Suguru's person, so he gently tries to lay everything out one at a time. ]

Plenty of people leave and sometimes they come back. There are a bunch of options here—to name some, taking less missions for a short time or doing research instead. We can't just keep going about exorcising curses all the time without a solution to the problem, right? Eventually it's going to wipe us and all of Japan out. We can look for a cure.

The society is never out of money, so they can hire independent sorcerers to fill in your spot until you figure it out.

As for Nanami and I, we'll be fine... Just have to reassess mission info to be thorough so what happened to Haibara doesn't repeat.

[ Even though he has a feeling that Nanami will burn out, too, and take a step away from Jujutsu... That isn't a concern. He can keep running the marathon as long as there's a goal, as long as there's something to reach.

A pause. ]
