[Lance is quiet while Rosen talks, thinking all of that over but also watching Rosen carefully; what prompted this particular self-reflection, if anything? And if it's nothing specific, what is so distressing about this topic that Rosen decided to not just think a lot about it, but bring it up?

He shakes his head a little at the last part; sure, this something Lance doesn't have the reason--or luxury?--to worry about, but that isn't going to change whether or not they have this conversation. It also doesn't make it less of an issue for Rosen to have to deal with, so Lance isn't bothered enough by the entire thing for it to outweigh the benefits of trying to help.]

It's fine.

[And that said, he refocuses on the actual topic.]

I wish I could give you an actual answer, about your concerns, but I can't, at least not as far as giving you any sort of idea of what to do about potentially returning home and losing what you've learned here.

[However, that said--]

But I can tell you that, as important as the future might be, now is just as important. It isn't a waste, in any way, to continue improving yourself here, because whether or not it will last your time here is just as valuable as your time at home.

[Lance, of course, has a particular reason to be very aware of that.]

And not only that but... Anything you accomplish here is something within you, that you could learn again. So maybe you will return, eventually, to the person you were at the time you came here, but that doesn't mean you'll remain that way.
