[... Should he? Well, Komaeda is young yet, really--never say never, Sousei thinks. But ultimately, he just responds simply:]
That depends on your perspective. Politics are necessary to continue to improve the country, but even so--there is always the issue of corruption and selfishness.
That sort of thing is an issue in a lot of arenas. BUt still, that just means the sort of people who can rise above it are extra important. Those sort of people could inspire a lot of hope in the world.
[And hope is good! Hope is always the best thing, but he's calmed down on some of his more fanatical hope-mongering.]
[Komaeda nods, emphatically now.] It can be difficult and come at a price, but I still think it's important. But there's more too. Even in this strange place, we all need to have that hope, right? Of getting back where we all belong.
[Not that Komaeda is in a super hurry to get back to his world to be in a coma and not be sure if he'll even remember everything that's happened here. Still, it's only right for people to find their way home in general.]
[Komaeda's expression falters, startled just a moment before he ducks his head, nodding. That is a good point, isn't it? He's had to learn that the hard way, all this time.]
It's true. There is more needed than that. I'm not sure what that is yet, but... [He's trying to figure it out.]

...Yes. That is why they are necessary nonetheless.
[Though his job is just to make sure the country exists long enough for politicians, corrupt or not, to do their politician thing.]
I would not underestimate the value of hope in this case.

Naturally. That is only to be expected.
[He shakes his head a moment later.]
Though more is required than just hope to make that a reality.

These kids.]
... That is something that is best figured out for yourself, regardless. [so sousei's not going to tell him, thanks, sousei.]
Simply do not make your talk of "hope" cheap. [it's not a cheap commodity, okay.]
