Whom do you live for, what do you live for?

[ in other words ] Why do you live?



[ and for those who don't wish to answer philosophical questions, Kaworu has another one ]

I have another question. I am currently taking care of a male adult cat, however, it seems he is rather untamed. [ actually, the cat is really mean and bites everyone for the heck of it. ] Because I never interacted with animals before arriving here, I'm not sure what to do in this situation, especially because of the way the animal acts towards the others that live inside the house.

Would anyone help me?

Umm... Hello, everyone. It's been kind of rough lately, hasn't it...?

[She's... trying to put it as delicately as she can. Even she can't help but think back to the nightmares she experienced recently, and it hurts her deeply to remember them. But at the same time, she knows she can't keep dwelling on it. And if she's had this problem, then just maybe...]

I was thinking... Maybe it would be good if everybody got together so we could all relax a little. I know tea helps me calm down, so I was thinking that if anybody was interested, I could brew some for them. And we could get some small cakes to go with it, too! I'm still not sure where, but it would be nice to just spend some time with everyone...

So... umm... [How do you organize things--] ...If you think that you might want to come, please let me know and I will try to figure things out. Thank you!

Now that it is over, you will hear our words, for you deserve them.

The curse you experienced was not our doing as I know many of you have guessed. None of us wanted this and none of us schemed to bring it into fruition.

It was not the doing of the giants either; for no giant, not even Thiazi is able to wield such power. It is thankfully entirely beyond their abilities.

[ she releases a breath and then continues. ]

We think it was Freya. She is the only one strong enough to formulate such a plan. We heard her screams, we know her heart is full of anger. We believe that in her anger, she had struck the city with this curse without much prior thought and so the results were as grave as they were.

[ a moment of silence. ]

I must ask you, find the strength in your heart and do not think of her too harshly. Whatever Freya did, she did out of grief, out of despair and out of a terrible loss. She is mad with grief and in her madness, she had done a deed that is cruel and reckless.

But I will ask you to show her compassion all the same.
