No— and if it was, don’t think there’s anything wrong with being selfish either. Selfish is what got me this far in life. Selfish isn’t always bad, you know. It’s like, you can pick and choose what you care about, and you get to pick what’s important.

...Dimitri is important. [that's what she's picking.] No matter how this turns out... at the very least, I will save him. It does not matter what it takes.
[anyway should he feel slightly guilty for teaching Flayn the skill `selfish.` He should, but he doesn’t.]
You can’t give everything to everyone— just happens that if you pick the right things to be selfish about, you’ll probably help a few other people along the way entirely by accident?

[Flayn nods slowly at that. She's said something similar to someone else, before - but it's harder to accept it when it comes to herself.]
...I certainly hope that you are right about that.

[The question remains exactly how far that is.]
