<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?

voice ( that's what I wanted to ask, too)

[demonicbookworm]

...It might not be easy, but it's still possible.

voice ( but I asked first )

[oursomalink]

Yeah... it's gonna be tough, though. People... well, it's not going to be easy convincing them that peace is the best way to go. And even if you could force everyone to get along, it wouldn't work -- I've seen someone try that once... with disastrous results.

[Hello Creed, Shing be thinking of you there.]

voice ( I know and l have no answer for that question)

[demonicbookworm]

Yeah... I think I know what you mean... But what is really that bad?

_{[he can't help but be a little curious now. What kind of disastrous results could those be?]}

voice ( I could try to think of one? )

[oursomalink]

It... it was horrible, if I can say it like that.

Seeing so many people getting calcified because of a simple wish like that... I admit, sometimes it's hard for me to see Creed as the bad guy.

[He's not gonna try to correct himself there, because it's definitely how he feels about it right now.]

voice ( really? D: )

[demonicbookworm]

_{[He blinks. People... calcified because of a wish? And who's Creed?]}

Um, if you don't mind... could you tell me what exactly happened?

voice ( ... IDK, it depends on what you want. )

[oursomalink]

Ah... a lot of things, really.

[It takes a while, but Shing finally tells Ruca about everything. Gardenia. The concept of Spirune. The tragedy of Quartzia, how his family sealed away Creed inside his own Spirune... it was a lot, but by the end of it Shing sounds tired.

And no, this was not because the mun was lazy or anything...]

... it's a lot to take in, isn't it?

voice ( ah never mind xD let's forget about that xD )

[demonicbookworm]

<sub>[he listens carefully to the explanation. Yes, it is certainly a lot to take.

He stays quiet for a longer moment, trying to come up with some kind of answer for all of this.

But he can't really think of anything right now.]</sub>

...Yeah. It is.

voice ( Yeah. Maybe next time? XD; )

[oursomalink]

Mmmn... it's... difficult. There's no other way I can describe it...

[A pause.]

... I really want for such a world to be possible, though.

voice ( maybe xD )

[demonicbookworm]

...Well, even if the world won't be perfect, I'm sure there's something even people like us can do, to make it a better place...

voice ( X333; )

[oursomalink]

Yeah... gotta start somewhere, right?

voice ( <333)

[demonicbookworm]

That's right.

voice ( <333 !!! )

[oursomalink]

Every little bit helps.

I think... if we leave the world a better place than we entered it, we did good.

voice ( (￣▽￣)ノ ♥ )

[demonicbookworm]

You're right. _{[he falls silent for a moment, then says, almost as if he was saying it to himself:]} I'll do my best, so my world would become a better place...

voice ( (●´∀｀●) ♥ )

[oursomalink]

Yeah... I have no doubts that you can do it.

voice ( (*・ω・)ﾉ ♥ )

[demonicbookworm]

...Thanks.

voice ( （●＾o＾●） ♥ )

[oursomalink]

You're welcome!

[A pause.]

Anyway, uh... I hope my answer helped things a little bit, uh...

Oh, I never got your name...

voice ( ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ ♥ )

[demonicbookworm]

It did.

Oh, I'm Ruca. Ruca Milda.

voice ( ∩( ・ω・)∩ ♥ )

[oursomalink]

Ah... my name's Shing. Shing Meteoryte.

[A smile.]

Nice to meet you, Ruca!

voice ( (*･∀･)／♥＼(･∀･*) )

[demonicbookworm]

It's nice to meet you, too, Shing.

voice ( (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) )

[oursomalink]

[A soft smile as he laughs a little. Ruca was so cute!]

Ruca... it's such a nice name...

voice ( (◡‿◡✿))

[demonicbookworm]

_{[he smiles awkwardly.]}

T-thanks...

voice ((((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))))

[oursomalink]

You're welcome...

[A quiet pause as he thinks of something.]

If I may ask, what spurred the question on?

voice ( d=(´▽｀)=b )

[demonicbookworm]

Ah, w-well... I was just curious what other people think about it.

voice ( ヽ(愛´∀｀愛)ノ )

[oursomalink]

Oh, I see... I think it's just one of those things people want to be out there, you know?

voice ( ヽ(；▽；)ノ )

[demonicbookworm]

Probably.
