( video, un: koriel - slightly forward-dated )
[ on the morning of the 14th, everyone’s feeds get to enjoy what appears to be a somber-looking video of a somber-looking man. his shoulders are hunched, his eyes downcast, and one might wonder why he’s making a video if he’s going to look this sad while doing it. don’t worry about it. ]
It’s…
[ he falters. he should have planned this out a little better. ]
I’m sorry to bring them up again, but what was said about the Oracles of the Sinless has been weighing on my mind. One of those members mentioned wanting to “reset” the world…
[ a new game+, as tarn put it. ]
My world is… I… [ although he can't finish his thoughts, it doesn't sound like he's getting emotional. his voice is quiet, but even-toned. ] It’s been destroyed. Most people are dead, and those that aren’t are… unwell. And when I think about that, the idea of resetting the world doesn’t seem wrong.
[ he seems to realize that he’s dangerously close to spreading cult propaganda, and he looks up at the camera with the first fluctuation of emotion—from a kind of downtrodden pensiveness to concern. ]
But I don’t think it seems right, either. I don’t know. [ he glances away from the camera once again. ] The Sinless must be scared. They don’t want the world to get worse. Our arrival here… it makes beautiful things, but maybe…
…um. I wanted to know what everyone else thinks.
It’s…

dextera thinks of what the archangel did to the dissenters within the cult, placing them in confinement coffins that left them tortured and alone until dextera came to kill them. in a way, whatever the lunatian government could come up with to punish them is likely never going to be as harsh as what their own could do.
he sighs. ]
You’re kind. Thank you.
[ as if apologizing on behalf of the sinless. ]
no subject
Uh—s-sure.
[There's an awkward pause as he tries to shake off the surprise and add something useful.]
I hope you've gotten some answers that helped, at least.
no subject
Yes. I have.
[ it might be hard to tell from anything about his manner, but he really does feel a little better. simply hearing from others, whether he disagrees or not, can go a long way in taking his mind off the reality of his sins. ]
Take care of yourself, here.

[Ferran doesn't know if it's true or not—he of all people is aware of how easy it is to get into the habit of acting like you're fine, even if the follow through isn't always there on making it believable. He just has to hope, despite the other man's gloomy demeanor.]
... you too.
