_{[Getting used to this place isn't anything easy, especially not to Ruca. However after a few days, the boy decides to take a look around the city...

...mainly to look for the library.

But since walking without a clue where he should go doesn't seem like a good idea, Ruca thought it might be better to just ask.]}

...Um, I hope I'm not bothering anyone, but... I'm looking for the library...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I appreciate it, but... _{[his gaze drops to the ground.]} Chitose, if you really wish to protect me then why... why are you doing what Mathias tells you to do? Why do you listen to her? You know what she's trying to do...

[For a moment, Chitose didn't respond back. Still, she kept her smile]

Isn't Mathias Asura? She is just a part of him as you are, the both of you are Asura.

But I don't agree with her.

_{[He looks at her. Chitose, why can't you understand?]}

And you shouldn't, too. Don't you care what will happen to everyone if Mathias' uses the Manifest? Don't you care if Ashihara will be destroyed? I don't want anything like that to happen. Our world isn't perfect, but it's still our world!

But don't you wish for everyone to be treated equally? There are people who fear us Avatars and we do not have a place to live.

I know about that, but I'm sure there is something else we can do about that.

Really? [She raised an eyebrow]

What do you plan on doing?

I... I don't know yet, but I'm sure there's something I can do...

_{[and maybe the Manifest could help...]}

Ruca, can I ask why you're so willing to save this world? It is indeed our world but it is also filled with people who are willing to do horrible things to others.

Do you believe in people that much?

I do.

Is that bad?

It depends on how you view it.

I don't think it'a a bad trait but I still wish that you could see Lady Mathias's ideals.

Her ideals? Don't you mean hatred? I'm afraid I'll never be able to understand that.

Just us much as I don't understand how she can treat you and everyone else as tools.

I don't think she's treating us as tools. [A pause. She did have to wonder after what Mathias said to her moments before the battle]

She just has to do what has to be done.

_{[he sighs. Chitose, you really can't see this?]}

Is that really what you think?

[She nods]

Sometimes, the ends justify the means.

_{[he shakes his head.]}

What she is trying to do will neither justify nor solve anything.

It will solve the problem of finding a place for us. We won't have to suffer anymore.

Nobody will suffer because they'll all be dead.

_{[he shakes his head.]}

I could never agree to something like this.

Then what other choice do we have? We can't go anywhere.

I'm sure there is something we can do to change it. _[...] There has to be.

Ruca, I appreciate how optimistic you are but...I cannot believe in such a thing.

[She couldn't really even look at him at this point]

I cannot believe in such a hopeful world.

But why not?

...There are some things that I rather not discuss.

I apologize, it's something that I want to keep to myself for now.

_[...]

...I see.

I'm sorry, Ruca, but one day I will tell you.

[Subject change!]

In the meantime, didn't you say you were looking for a library? Do you still need any help looking for it?

_{[subject change is loved.]}

Someone's told me where to look for it...

[Action] Sorry about the late reply!

[Action] late? It's not late at all

[Action] I meant delayed tags for Ruca!

[Action] I know. And really it's fine. You're not late at all.
