[Sasaki's a little restless thanks to excessive prom talk, and not enough progress with her projects. Well, why not take a break tonight? She decides to make a little call.]

A.) [Phone, standard filter:] I'm curious-- how many of you believe in such a thing as good and evil? And specifically, a natural inclination towards it. Do you think humans

Honestly, I used to believe in good and evil. But in the end, it's just a conflict of interests. Those deemed evil think they are good, and vice versa. People will always see those who go against their ideals as the enemy, instead of reaching a compromise or merely accepting each other.

This is why humanity is so flawed.

As far as inclination, humans will naturally do whatever they deem necessary to preserve their own ideals. They are only good or bad in the eyes of others.

Hm.

Well, that's a rather sweeping statement. I would be careful making such sweeping assertions, myself. As far as I know, that mostly tends to apply to people who have a very specific set of beliefs. That is, only if they have an articulated ideology of their own do they commit to it; and most people do not.

My apologies. These are obviously only my own opinions gathered, well... through what I've experienced in life so far. I'm probably a little more biased than I should be.

[cramschoolgod]

Oh, no, there's no need to apologize. It's a viewpoint that can be defended, as well. What is it that you've experienced that makes you think that way?

[iheartcabbage]

Something involving one of Japan's infamous... Well, I don't really feel comfortable discussing it over the phone. You know how things easily get leaked out.

[cramschoolgod]

Hmm, very well. If you'd like to meet to discuss it, I would be willing to; or if you'd rather drop the subject, that's also acceptable.

[iheartcabbage]

Well, you seem trustworthy so I guess I wouldn't mind. Besides, it might help you out in the long run. I don't know how, but knowledge is power, right?

[cramschoolgod]

Quite so. My address is 1450 Mitchell Road; feel free to come by whenever.
