I forgot how fucking good this is. After the demon is destroyed, Mithrun is catatonic-- the demon ate all of his desires, and all he had left was his desire to destroy the demon-- or so he thought. Kabru gets him moving by reminding him that we change, and form new desires every day. Then, Mithrun says he actually wanted the demon to kill him-- his desire was actually for death. He says he feels like vegetable scraps left on the cook table, useless.
Senshi only overheard the part about scraps being useless, and shows up to say HELL NO! You can make delicious broth! Some scraps will root in water! You can compost! Scraps are valuable, don't throw them away. And Mithrun laughs so hard he cries.
