Yeah, I know what families are like. I know how clearly they help you see everything you're not doing for them.
...You're going to force him to have faith? People, human strangers, get a choice in what they believe, but you're not going to give that to your own brother? A person believes in something, has faith, real faith in something, because they're given a choice and maybe in spite of the evidence, they say 'Yes. I invest myself in this.' You can't make him have faith. Even... If he is an angel. You can't make him believe. Or it's not real. And he won't be the person you wanted to save any more.
