"Exactly. We have no way of knowing what point we're at in any cycle we might be a part of; trying to force things to move in a certain direction is as presumptuous as it is dangerous."

Ginko tilts his face downward, glancing at the ground for a moment and then back up at Tanyuu. "I know that. You know I do. But this-- what you've gotten involved in is too much." Then, somewhat more boldly, he adds, "And I know you wouldn't feel this way if the Void and... and Cy-Ren hadn't done... whatever it was to you."

This, from Tanyuu of all people, is no more natural of a progression than the "renewal" that she's been roped into trying to force. He's sure of it.
