[ being dedicated to the school's public morals committee... wow, that sure is specific and... also vague at the same time. naegi puts a hand to his chin as he thinks about this. when ishimaru says that he's nothing like his past talent, naegi looks up ]

... well, doesn't that also mean that you had a very strict moral code?

[ here comes your protag spew of positivity ]

That sounds a lot like you. Even when you're gambling, you always try to follow your moral code of never doing anything illegal or dishonest and you're always trying to make sure that others are the same. So... if we think of Moral Compass as someone who motivates and pushes people into being someone with good morals, I think that fits you a lot.

[As encouraging as Naegi is being, Ishimaru still doesn't fully agree with him. He rubs his arm, partly because of how sore it is and partly because of his uncertainty over all this.]

Maybe, but that doesn't make me the Super High School Level Moral Compass. There are plenty of other people that follow a strict moral code... and they don't gamble. They haven't caused other people to lose thousands of dollars in a matter of minutes.

Kiyotaka...

[ naegi stays silent a bit, just watching him and his movements ]

You can't put that on yourself. Remember what you said? We agree to the rules when we come to the table to play, including the consequences. You can't blame yourself for something like that.

I-I know...

[He definitely still believes in that philosophy, but it's hard to think of himself as the SHSL Moral Compass at the same time.]

It's just that someone with truly good morals, someone really worthy of that title, would be doing something else with his life. I feel like my past self would disapprove of me.
