[Cilan, for his part, is perhaps lucky that there isn't anything bad waiting for him back home (that he knows of), so he is certainly looking forward to going back home. The idea of never seeing some of the friends he made here is unappealing, but right now he's thinking about what's best for them, especially for Ash and Iris.

But, one can't help but be cautiously optimistic at this point, and he wants something clarified here.]

The message said that there would be shifts targeting our "weaknesses", and that it was the difference between going home and staying here forever, correct? What does that mean, exactly? If you are unable to overcome them, then that means you will never be able to leave this place? [Is this a test? Fail, and you get stuck here forever?]
