-Laughs-

Perhaps you were then born wiser and humbler than myself. It took me time to cast aside vain pride and the venom of conceit to realize my own lack of capability.

Yes! Yes, that is the truth! So many seem to be under the misguided impression of these intrinsic absolutes- one is either born foolish or born clever- born arrogant or born humble- born good or born evil. These dichotomies, although the basis of our earthly struggle and being, are not set in stone on birth- no one is born as anything besides a blank slate, a to-be participant in the great duality of our lives.

That is an interesting hypothesis- I believe that there is truth in it, yes, but there is also some degree of untruth. It is amusing that a statement such as that exists in such a gray, no? For there is also aboslute good and also absolute evil. Their causes and drives and motives may exist in gray but their existence exists in one or the other. Love, for example, is a notion that is absolutely good, all of the time. Love's circumstances and context, however, can render it harmful and drive it to malice- but the love itself is still good. The opposite also is true- wickedness in context can be justified and explained, made rational- but it remains yet wickedness. Humans, I believe, and any other soul, exist beyond this dichotomy, however, as they are wholly good, only driven to hatred and evil by cruel circumstance.

-Pauses, frowning for a moment-

I hope I did not throw you with the volume or magnitude of my words, I simply found myself carried by these flights of passion as they go.

I do not believe and cannot accept the notion of a person who is inherently wicked. There is no such thing that exists. All evil is born in our world, by our hands, by our circumstance. Every person on birth is given a chance to pursue good and only those who are robbed of that chance by material means do wickedness. There is no imperfect soul, only imperfect conditions that misrepresent these souls.

This is simply untrue. These conditions hound them until death- but after death? They are cleansed and given another chance, another crucible. They shall cycle through this until finally they reach salvation- when their soul should step beyond the prisons of cruelty and express its true nature as something utterly good. Yes, there are persons who do nothing but wickedness- but they are not, themselves, wicked. They are plagued, diseased, but they are not the disease.

Roof (Aichi)

-Aichi decides to go to the roof. He enjoys going up there to think sometimes (And he's still trying to sort out his feelings about the younger version of himself that's apparently running around...).-

-...? There's someone up here... Aichi's not really sure what to say, but...-

"Um... Hello."

Yes, it is a crucial portion of the Albigensian confession. All souls, in our view, are perfect and immortal. They are portions of the inherently good spiritual, while this world is composed of the inherently wicked material. Therefore all suffering derives from this world and its components, and all good derives from our spirits. Thus, the eternal struggle between good and evil persists, as we are yet trapped within physical prisons until we consolidate our persons with our Good Principle.

-W-What the...?! The guy just disappeared...-

-...Not to mention Aichi only just notices the boy the guy was standing over... Is he all right? Was that guy trying to do something to him? After all this place is really dangerous at times...-

-He rushes up to Koata and shakes him a bit.-

"H-Hey! Are you all right?"

-...So he had just decided to nap for a bit? Then about the guy that was standing over him...?-

"...I was just worried. There was a guy standing over you and I thought you might have been hurt or something..."

-...It was really suspicious for the guy to just... disappear.-

-...Yeah, Aichi probably should have thought saying that through better...-

"D-Don't worry... He's gone now... He disappeared when I said something. I guess he wasn't expecting someone to come up here..."

-Although he did need to warn Koata anyway... If there was someone standing over him like that for some reason it would be a good idea to let him know.-

-Aichi switches to a small smile.-

"I'm glad you're all right..."

-Although Aichi is still worried about Koata... He seems like a nice boy so Aichi can't understand why that guy was just looming over him like that...-

"Um... Would you like some company?"

-Aichi doesn't want to leave him alone after that...-
