Hi everyone!

Jerry gave me some homework. Can you help me with it, please? ( •̯́ ^ •̯̀)

He wants me to ask if there's such a thing as going “too far” to protect someone you love. What extent would you go to protect others? Would you physically harm them if it meant saving them from harm?

Oh, you can respond with video or call or text or whatever, that's fine! If you want to talk to each other too, that'll probably help, also.

Thank you! ₊˚⊹♡

No.

There is no such thing as too far or too much.

I am uncertain what constitutes "too far" after the events of last month. Many of us acted outside of our own control, or did things we normally would not, in the name of protecting others.

I probably would not go against their wishes.

Beyond that, anything.

[Hm. Ryoji thinks he knows the cause of this homework.]

I think the important part is to consider the feelings of those you want to protect. Sometimes what we think might be the best for them isn't actually the case.

Do you remember a couple of months back, I thought I would save everyone from suffering by doing something terrible?

[It's been long enough that he's comfortable enough to talk about it, but he still doesn't want to say out loud that he killed Kotone and a bunch of other people because of such reasoning.]

I went too far in trying to "protect" people back then. (╯︵╰,)

[ .. huh. ]

Why did you get "homework" from Jerry?

[ Ange knows what homework means in this context, obviously. But she's more just curious if it was a random thing - since that does seem to happen - or that Kotone's been Up to something.. ]

[It takes Tsuna a long time to answer this question, and a lot of lying on his bed thinking about it.]

I think...I think I'd try to avoid harming them, if at all possible.

And see if there was another way to save them

[She's not sure who Jerry is, but this is a subject she likes to weigh in on.]

I don't believe there is a right or wrong answer for this topic. People will do whatever they feel they must without much regard to anything else. Their actions will depend upon what the threat is.

no
no there isn't

[ Given his recent escapades, this one probably shouldn't come as a big surprise.

He's probably not helping either of their sentencing with this response, but oh well! ]

Homework, huh? That's a weird assignment to get from this Jerry jackass.

Whatever. This one's easy enoughー there's never a "too far" involved when it comes to protecting what's dear to you. Even if it means having to use force to stop 'em from doing something they'd regret later.

"going too far?" nope!

what extent would i go? as far as i can take it.

would you physical harm them if it means saving them? probably! most definitely.

well, that killed 3 mins. what's next, miss popular? are we going to paint the town blue? spice up the crumbling buildings so they have more personality?

That's a tricky one.

On one hand, I feel like I would fo anything to protect the people I care for.
But I also feel there's lines that shouldn't be crossed.
Still, to save someone I care about, maybe I would, if I couldn't find any other alternatives.

[followyourstar]

For "too far..." Yeah. I think there is one. You have to consider the other person's feelings instead of making the decision for them. Especially if it's something drastic.

I get that it's more complicated than that in practice, though.

[nuraridouman]

Oh my. There are absolutely many ways in how such a desire can go "too far."

I could give you some examples that I've been dragged into only within the last year, although I am not sure if that won't be too private.

this jerry asshole doesn't show his face in however many months, and now he's giving out homework??? ugh. typical.

[Horrible. Awful. Now this guy is acting like a teacher on top of being their jailer? Gross.]

anyway i guess i'd say not really but it's more
depends what too far means?
like, what are you protecting them from? what'll they regret more when it's over?
that's the part that's the most important, i think
it's gotta be about what's good for them, not just how you feel about it
long as you've got that straight i don't think there's a too far

text; un: suzumiya

[uncommonsense]

I think there’s a too far, yeah. the way I look at it is, if you had to face your friend afterwards, what would they think? I’d give up most things to protect friends, but I wouldn’t want to hurt them.

My younger self would reply ‘no’ without another thought.

But I must reply as ‘yes’.You may have saved the person you love from doom, but for what price? Are you willing to accept the consequences for your action?
