Do you think you deserve to be loved?

What makes you worthy of it?

Comments

[nilhilistic]

In regards to myself.

It seems unwise and unsafe.

[mistsplitter]

What makes you say so?

[nilhilistic]

I ended a world.

That is enough reason.

[mistsplitter]

[ just dropping a bomb like that so casually, rafal??? ]

What do you mean?

How?

[nilhilistic]

[ he's like that. ]

I am a powerful dragon with the ability to resurrect others.

[mistsplitter]

But how is that connected to ending a world?

[nilhilistic]

I needed to summon a power from another world.

So I engineered a crisis that slowly killed off the population and then I replaced them with my puppets.

[mistsplitter]

Surely something so grave shouldn't be said so casually.

Why did you do it? For what purpose?

[nilhilistic]

[ huh. her brother had the same reaction. ]

I prefer to be honest, so I do not get anyone's expectations of myself skewed.

I wanted power.

[mistsplitter]

What kind of power?

[nilhilistic]

The power to travel to other worlds.

[mistsplitter]

Ending a world and creating your own puppets could do that?

[nilhilistic]

That is what it led up to.

That is my crime.

[mistsplitter]

Did you achieve your goal?

[nilhilistic]

I failed. And I was forgiven.

[mistsplitter]

Who forgave you?

[nilhilistic]

[ ah. ]

. . . My sister.

[mistsplitter]

Was she involved in what you did?

[nilhilistic]

No. She would never do something like that.

[mistsplitter]

There is a lot more to this story. Though I do not wish to ask too many details if it is painful to talk about.

I cannot condone actions like that, but it does not mean you do not deserve love. Perhaps not from those you have hurt in the past, but your family, and those you may meet now.

What caused you to ask this to everyone?

[nilhilistic]

It was . . . worth scrutinizing.

I'm not sure I believe it, but still.

[mistsplitter]

I cannot compare your situation to what the people of Inazuma had gone through. I do not know all the details of your experiences.

Pain, big or small, however, is still pain.

Our leader and our Archon hurt many people in the past, including members of the Yashiro Commission and my family. She closed our borders and hunted people who owned Visions. Those people had their dreams, their personalities, and their will stripped from them, and they became empty vessels of people.

[ Perhaps her wording may be a bit too poetic describing what happened. ]

The Vision Hunt Decree has ceased, however, and peace is back in our nation. Our leader remains at her seat, as things should be.

[nilhilistic]

Despite what happened?

[mistsplitter]

Yes.

The people do not forget, of course. But we are all working together to rebuild our nation.

[nilhilistic]

How?

I don't understand how I was forgiven. I don't understand what I'm meant to do with this life.
