[ For a long moment, Yu doesn't say anything, soaking in that question. His face betrays nothing of his thoughts.
Of course he can figure out right away why Hiro is asking. There can only be one reason. The power to affect fate... to override maybe the worst fate of all. On the one hand, to say yes to that question would feel like posing false hope. There's no overriding death... at least, not a death like Tadashi's. On the other hand, what CERES is doing should be impossible in the first place, shouldn't it? And Yu has seen all kinds of impossible things. Could it be done? Could the technology CERES uses to project their code on Tellus be used on other worlds? ]
I don't know. But it seems like you might think so.
[ It's true. There's no judgment in his voice. Only a sort of quiet, thoughtful curiosity. ]
