I'm sure I would, judging by what you've said of him. He sounds like a good man. [It feels a bit double-edged, using that word -- it's only respectful to someone who died in the line of duty, even though someone their age shouldn't have to.

As Jean has heard, Anders knows that particular hope well.]

There are people who come here after their death elsewhere. [Maybe it's incredibly optimistic, but he doesn't want Jean to give up on the idea.] Don't fall under the impression that you can't be realistic and have hope. It can carry you when you have little else.
