Meridian talks a big game, but I haven't heard a single one of 'em talk like they actually understand what they're trying to do. I'm not about to stick my neck out [and, by proxy, the necks of everyone he cares about] for a buncha clowns that're stuck too far up their own asses to think about what it means.

[Resurrecting one person is hard enough. Resurrecting entire worlds, potentially innumerable ones? Come on. Something has to give somewhere. And until Meridian can meet his standard of proof, he's unlikely to make the gamble.

What Anakin in particular might feel though, Exalt to Exalt, is an impression of what Yusuke is leaving unsaid: a backdrop of righteous anger and defensiveness on behalf of the Meris, who (it seems to him) are being taken advantage of in their grief.]
