<sub>[Ruca can't stop thinking about his conversation with Chitose. Even though the two do not agree with each other, they didn't argue and the conversation itself went pretty well.

Despite all of that, Chitose's words were what bothered Ruca so much.

There are people who fear us Avatars and we do not have a place to live.

Ruca sighs. Chitose is right. He knows she's right, yet he would rather never admit it. Not to her, nor to anyone. He wants to believe that something can be changed. He even has an idea what to do, but still...

Chitose didn't want to believe him. She told him she couldn't believe in such a hopeful world.

After a few moments of staring into nothingness, Ruca takes his SFC and says:]</sub>

A world where everyone are treated equally... A world without wars... Do you think such world could truly exist?

I... I am aware of that. But I also think that if there is something that can be done about to help my world, I still want to try and do it.

M-maybe it won't solve all the problems... but perhaps some of them... at least.

The first step to peace...

[He says that softly, and grows quiet for a moment himself, memories running through his mind. Eventually he adds:]

If your heart is true, and your intentions noble, then I am sure you will indeed make the right choice.

_{[this makes him smile a little, actually.]}

...I hope you're right.

[wavesoakedlegs]

All we can do is believe in our goals, and strive to meet them as best we can.

[A lesson Mitsuhide could do with listening to himself.]

Best wishes, my friend, for you and your world.

[demonicbookworm]

T-thank you!

_{[feeling a little awkward because you keep calling him "friend".]}

Uh, my name is Ruca. Ruca Milda.

[wavesoakedlegs]

I am Akechi Mitsuhide; Mitsuhide is fine.

[Mitsuhide's voice grows formal and polite for a moment, though not losing its softness.]

It is an honour.

[demonicbookworm]

It's... it's nice to meet you, Mitsuhide.
