When you sincerely wish to protect a collective for your own benefits, you become a member of an interest group.
Hope has already formed an interest group with him at its core. If he can go further in the future, this interest group will continue to expand.
His limit becomes the limit of this interest group.
So, there are still some people inside who keep a close watch on external forces to identify those who pose a threat to them.
Upon hearing these messages, Hope could only feel speechless, but there was no particular emotion otherwise. After all, to him, he's not much different from these people.
After listening to opinions about these people, he could merely shake his head. Some advocated for "integrating into the Federation," while others supported "making an effort for the Federation to accept them," which overall went against refugee sentiment.
He didn't think these people posed a threat, so he paid little attention.
