As always, a very gray area of "philosophizing realities". But i agree w rika's mom, as long as parents guide their kids to have a purposeful and satisfying life then an adult has done well for a blank slate of a child. No one chose to be born, but it's the wisdom of those who lived that molds a world for whether a child could be satisfied living in it or dread to have been thrown into it.
I love how straightforward Hiro's name is. It adds to the more or less ideal pov we want to have to make a better world where being yourself, which do not hurt others, can thrive instead of always conforming to social norms and malicious stereotyping and prejudice.
