It hurts watching people be sad.

[preceptive]

It does.

But that'll always happen, regardless of who the culprit is.

[warmness]

That's true...

The two of them have been very good to me, so I just wanted to...

[ help them? figure out a way to prove hiza wasn't possessed by sonic the fuck demon?? well. it doesn't matter. ]

[preceptive]

The truth is what it is.

[warmness]

It is. But feelings of regret and grief are very human, right?

[preceptive]

They were taboo where I'm from, so I wouldn't know.

[warmness]

[ huh. a tilt of her head. ]

Feelings?

[ or. humans. it's a jan canon it can go either way ]

[preceptive]

[WOW]

When you grieve, the souls of the deceased become lost and unable to pass on. Therefore, it was forbidden.

[he shakes his head.]

I won't say now that it was necessarily the best way for people to live. Inevitably, they began to crack. But it's how things were.

[it's all he knew, really.]

[warmness]

[ well. this explains things. ]

Well... sacrifices are usually made wherever you go.

[ her expression turns into a small frown at that, but it clears away. ]

The dead are very important where you're from?

[preceptive]

If the dead cannot pass on and be reborn, they eventually become corrupted and turn into Fallen—monsters who blindly attack other souls and the living.

[warmness]

Oh my.

[ :o ]

So does everyone need to make sure they pass on?

[preceptive]

That's the idea.

[warmness]

So being here must be very different.

[ people are

rather emotional here ]

[preceptive]

It is.

But like I said, I don't necessarily think my society's beliefs were correct. It's not such a bad thing to see how others deal with death.

[if he were from an earlier canon point, it might be a different story, but. hm.]

[warmness]

Some reactions aren't that good. Sometimes the living can't really pass on after someone dies, too.

[ like senel, back then...

and hopefully not higekiri. ]

[preceptive]

That's true.

... In the end, no matter the culture, you have to learn to let go in some way.

[maybe not to the extreme his takes it, but.]

[warmness]

I think a good way to do it is to... plant seeds.

[preceptive]

... What?

[warmness]

You get a seed, and you put all of your feelings into it... the sad ones, the ones that don't make you feel that good... and then you plant it into the ground and watch it grow into something beautiful.

[preceptive]

You do realize how long it takes for something to grow, right?

[warmness]

You can cheer on its little progress, too. One day, it'll just be a tiny leaf... and then it can be a tree. Or a flower.

[preceptive]

We are not going to be here long enough for anything to be a tree.

[warmness]

A very small tree.

[preceptive]

[he sighs.]

Are you and Higekiri going to plant anything, then? If we have any seeds around here.

[warmness]

I'll have to look... maybe we can get seeds from plants already growing?
