[ xiao xingchen is not someone who feels the urge to ask questions often. not of others, and even less so of strangers. for this, however, he'll make an exception, even if the words are hard to parse. ]

I have been thinking
The people that we are in this place, the people we become —
Is there a chance in this world for those who are destined to commit evil?
Or is it futile to expect that anything will change when we return to our worlds?

And if it is futile then... does anything we do here matter?

Duty? I
I did not have a duty, just an aspiration to protect people and rid the world of evil.


It is not?

[triggerhappytraitor]

That is a duty and responsibility. Especially when undertaken to set things right again.

That you were deceived only means that you trusted in someone. And there's nothing wrong in trusting in people.

You just have to learn from it, so you don't wind up deceived the same way again, or by the same person.

I cannot fix the future of my world. When I return none of this knowledge will matter. So, the only good I can do is here... now.

I still... have. I have conflicted feelings towards this person, but I am not angry nor do I wish for their suffering.
I will try.
It helps that I am not...blind.

[[Another moment of words that he himself could have written... How similar of a past to his own had this person suffered...?]]

Feelings rarely are what we expect them to be. Especially regarding those who have hurt us.

Good luck.

With everything.
