...What does that have to do with anything?

[justforyou]

I mean, we could be considered weapons.

[fortheworld]

And yet we are not. We are still very much human beings. We fight with our very souls and emotions for mercy's sake!

[justforyou]

I know that! I'm just saying that wouldn't it be easy to fall into that line of thinking, given our situation?

[Kirika sighs and rubs the back of her neck.]

Never mind... I was just thinking too much.

[fortheworld]

[Oriko chuckles] You can never think too much, Kirika.

I can see your point on the matter, but it still doesn't make it healthy. If anything, in our case, it makes it distinctly unhealthy for the emotional disconnect.

I suppose the core of the problem is... if you keep doing something that causes you pain, ignoring it isn't going to make it stop.

[justforyou]

Yeah, I understand that. I just don't know if we can just call those who do it idiots. I mean. Wouldn't it be more helpful if we understand why they do that and try to fix it? Or something.

[fortheworld]

That's exactly what I'm intending to do!

But if she doesn't realise the issue herself, she will only repeat her mistakes, making any efforts worthless.

[justforyou]

I guess that's what would happen.

[She rubs her neck again.] I just wanted to say what's on my mind.

[fortheworld]

And for that, I am glad.

Do we understand each other, now?

[justforyou]

I guess... Wait, it's a good thing?

[fortheworld]

...Well, yes. Clear lines of communication are a necessity to group coordination are they not?

[justforyou]

Oh. Right! Yeah. I thought you were talking about something else.

[fortheworld]

Such as...?

[justforyou]

I forgot...
