The real world tears family from family. Humanity, God, demons, fate.

[His eyes are...cold, to say the least. He's not one to talk on obsession with brothers but, dude.]

Then I suppose the word I'm looking for is 'wretched'.

Or should we say world? Ahaha, isn't this a lovely coincidence. Word, world.

They really are the same.

Sekai, kotoba. It's only english that carries that particular coincidence.

The world itself is not to blame--a world isn't sentient. It is the actions of others--and the passage of time, that destroy everything in their path.

Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair...

Ahaha, then I suppose it's unfortunate that I was born speaking that language.

Will you be leading a crusade, then? How touching. Against the ruler of time, surely you'll find what you were seeking.

What if I tell you that the ruler of time is but a little white rabbit? Ha, you can lead a crusade, but in the end, all that is precious to you, she'll take it all away.

Oh, I know who my target it. And He has already taken away everything. Not your white rabbit, but our so-called benevolent creator...

Nothing but an unjust and petty god. This is no crusade, this is assassination. Never confuse the two, Nightray.

My white rabbit? You must be mistaken, and what a darling mistake that is. The white rabbit belongs to a little boy with the smile of a particularly sloppily drawn caricature, and he plays her on a string.

I apologize for the confusion, then. I'm very upset. Would this be the fault of your god?

Depends on whether this place is truly free from his influence.

The loss of your brother can be blamed solely on whatever brings and takes people from here. Whether it's YHWH, the Overlord, or something else remains to be seen.

Happy hunting.

[boat_lights]

You say it with such cheer.

Oh, I'll blame them all right. And they'll take it. Brother will come back, soon enough. He never leaves for long, because he can't do without me at all.

It was a lovely chat, Mister Naoya.

[un_forgetting]

Such faith. I'll leave you to your own, Nightray.
