it had been a hard pill to swallow, when they found out about shiro. because it was shiro, his hero, easily the strongest of the paladins, how could he succumb to this infection? but then he'd persisted, been strong and brave and everything they know and expect him to be and lance began to think maybe, hey, it's shiro, his hero, easily the strongest of the paladins, definitely if anyone can beat this it's him.
and now he's in a school, locked up where he can't hurt anyone else.
lance isn't shiro. he isn't very strong, nor is he very brave, especially right now when forced to face all this uncertainty and helplessness. ]
They'll find a cure. I mean — they have to, right? What else is there...
