[There's a girl on the network who looks about ready to cry. Which is... familiar, if you know Hibiki. But at the same time, she looks too old to be the girl in the green cloak everybody is so used to...

Well, unless you were around for the aging event, at least.]

I-it happened again. I got turned into a teenager again...

What should I do? I can't move like this... Last time, I kept falling, and I never figured it out-!

[Wah.]

Umm... W-would somebody be able to tell the people at the hospital that I can't come today? I don't think I can help out very much like this...

Rutherford-san, I don't mind cooking a meal today, but I don't think I can deliver it. B-but I'll try to see if somebody else can bring it instead-! [Because she would feel bad if she didn't at least try.]

[Action; Sigyn kitchen]

[After some effort, she's finally made it down to the kitchen, still miraculously in one piece. There's a bit of a red bump on her head, and some minor scuffs on her knees, which might explain why she's seated at the table for the moment. She did manage to brew up some tea at least, which she is enjoying, but judging by the soaked towels on the floor and a suspicious bandage pad stuck to her hand, it took quite a bit more effort than usual.

But all of that aside, she does look up when she hears somebody coming, and even manages a weak smile.]

Umm... Hello.

((OOC: Hibiki has been hit by an age-up curse, making her about fifteen or sixteen years old. ...She's not much taller really, but it's still enough to make it difficult to judge distances.))

Almost isn't all of it.

But... it's close enough, isn't it?

No, not at all. Explaining everything with "the gods did it" is lazy.

It's-- Lazy?

[She didn't even think of that...]

S-sorry... But, umm... How else should it be described?

They can't do it just because they're gods. And even if is because of what they are that they can do it, whatever it is they're doing exactly is still up for a question.

If you ask yourself how and answer "because they're gods," you're taking the easy way out.

Then... You're saying we need to know what they can and can't do?

[Or... something like that...??]

Not necessarily know it, that's not always as easy as you'd like. But at least question it when they do something.

Ah... Usually, I just accept what they say because I thought they must know best about it. A lot of times, the things they say are complicated, so I don't really understand...

But if that's bad... Maybe I should try a little harder...

There's never any harm in trying. I'd say it's the opposite.

...Mm. Because if I don't try... I can't do anything, right?

Exactly! And trying is infinitely important.

...I don't know how much I will be able to understand, but...

...From now on, I'll try my best.

That's all I ask of anyone.

[ Anyone but himself. ]

Trying is... important to you, isn't it?

Oh, yes. In the end, isn't that all we have?

Umm...

But isn't there other things, too? Like love, or... Or friendship, or things like that?

You can't have love or friendship without the trying.

...Oh! I guess that's true, too!

There you are, then.
