I'm sorry. I wish people weren't so capable of things like this.

Apologizing for the actions of others does nothing, though I appreciate the sentiment.

I realize that.

People often don't take the time to understand something before they fear it, and it leads to discrimination and hate. I may not be of the same race as you, but I understand your frustration.

Yes...

'Before they fear it'.

Nothing good will ever come from fear.

Nothing whatsoever.

It's difficult to try to teach someone to ignore a base instinct, but once people open their eyes to the problem, there is hope for change. Did... um, did the situation ever improve for the half-elves, though?

Barely.

Old habits are hard to break, it seems.

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe someday.

One can only hope, yes...

...Oh! I just realized I didn't introduce myself. I'm sorry.

My name is Ion, by the way.

A pleasure, Ion.

My name is Yuan.

It's good to meet you, too, although it's too bad it wasn't under better circumstances.

I'm sure there's much more to your world than just the racism.

It seems that, as of late, there are no favourable circumstances in this place.

Yes, there is.

It seems that way, but things will probably improve soon.

Are you by yourself, or have people from your world ended up here, too?

When I arrived here there were two from my world, but they left a short while ago.

I'm not aware of anyone else. So until the situation changes, I'm the only one.

That's too bad. I hope you've been able to enjoy your time here despite that.

That's a question I've been meaning to ask since I arrived here.

What warrants people to claim that they enjoy this place? From what I've seen, there's nothing but a lack of major civilization and chaos.
