Sanzo has everything a person could need and nothing that he wants. He's beautiful and hates it; he's talented and would rather waste it. He smokes like he wants it to kill him. He fights against everything he is, but probably even Goku wouldn't be able to tell you what he'd prefer to be. He certainly couldn't tell you himself.
"He is the worst priest I have ever seen," a forgotten monk once said after meeting him, "but I think perhaps also the best."
After all, he holds nothing.
(Or almost nothing. He will never talk about the feeling of watching a small body fall, covered in blood, and realising that in the end, there is no-one who needs nothing at all; and he will never talk about the memories that come with the rain, and the way he keeps them close like friends -- like lovers.)
