Monsters born of fear and a world where it storms constantly. All the landmasses have long been ago been flooded. No one has seen the sun or the stars in a very long time.
I don't remember the particulars, yet, if they were ever made known to me at all. I know my brother has to do with it all. It's why he was created and he is the best result they've managed so far.
I'd like to think we are. It is easier to speak to him, and I think we are finally both able to leave expectations behind. But I worry I simply cannot help him in the way he needs.
Though even if they were not, you all give me too much credit. I can pull up someone who desires to be helped. Those who simply need to be pushed onto a different path.
But when it comes to those who have trouble at finding worth in themselves or are stubbornly set on their path, well, I've watched more than one falter and fall.
Hmmm...I dunno. The philosophies, yes, that's fair, and I do not mean to undermine the wisdom of your latter point. It isn't that I disagree with that, to be clear. It isn't that I think you're infallible either, far from it. But...how do I put this...
You're very kind. You care at your core, everything you do falls back to that. That's kind of your whole thing. And Vivi...needs to feel connected to people. To love and be loved. All that other stuff isn't unimportant but it's also...just noise. Static. It just needs to be fine-tuned is all, to find the right wavelength.
I dunno. I'm not saying it'll be easy, but I guess I just have faith that you'll work it out, and that you're more capable than you think you are.

Oh, certainly. He'd look so darling in a dress~! Not sure what else we could do though....

...I want him to have a full and happy life. He can't have that if he marries me.

He might seem rather lacking in abilities here, but his skills nearly match my own. He is a powerful mage in his own right and brilliant besides.
What is it exactly that you are facing?

I think these are conversations you should have with him. To figure out what you want and what he wants. To talk it through together.

[she runs a hand through her hair.]
I don't want him to be unhappy, he already deals with so much without my adding to it. So much.

If experience tells us anything.

that's a lesson she doesn't need to learn.]
Probably. [she sighs]
The truth is just so lame, sometimes. You don't have to tell me details, obviously, but are you two doing better, Emecchi?
