"At first just cuz I was asked to." When he first awakened to Orpheus he really couldn't care less if he lived or died. "Definitely didn't scare me nearly as much as it should to start out."
"At some point though...I started wanting to protect my friends. One time before you joined Junpei ran off by himself and I was really scared to lose him." He was fine risking his life for the people he cared about and the people by his side. He's not sure if that answered everything Ken wanted to know, but he didn't want to ramble too long. "I wouldn't let anyone else sacrifice themselves if it came to it, if that's what you're asking."
