Forty Seventh Summons: Another Question

[miss_enma_ai]

 [She's been doing a lot of thinking lately. Never a good sign. After that talk with Japan though, she needed to. She goes to the phones.]

.....

How do you forgive people?

[Action: You can find Ai sitting on the steps of her house. She's just watching the street. And anyone who walks by. No this isn't creepy at all.....]

Good question. I have no friggin' clue either.

...Guess first you got to decide if they're even worth it.

[Phone]

[miss_enma_ai]

.....how do you do that?

[godisachild]

Well I mean why do you want to forgive 'em? Do you want to forgive them because you're just tired of being mad at them, or because you actually mean it? I mean, I guess that's what I'm trying to say? I dunno....

[miss_enma_ai]

Oh.

[She'll think about that for a moment.]

I'm tired of being mad at them. ....and I'm curious about how people go about forgiving people who have done horrible things to them.

[godisachild]

Well is it really an apology then? I mean if you're tired of being mad at them, but don't really care to forgive them, why not just push them aside all together? They're not worth it then, I guess.

....Eh. I'm still trying to figure that out. I'll get back to you on it.

[miss_enma_ai]

[She'll have to give that more thought later.]

Possibly.

You're human aren't you?

[godisachild]

Yeah.

I am.

[miss_enma_ai]

I see.

[Well it's not surprising, most humans never seem to be able to control their hatred either.]

But you don't understand humans either?

[godisachild]

I think I do. Or did. I dunno.

I'm not really all that great a human. Not that I really care.

[miss_enma_ai]

Really? Why not?

[godisachild]

I'm just not. Never have been. Does it really matter?

[miss_enma_ai]

It depends what you mean by 'not a good human'.

[godisachild]

Yeah well I guess that's for you to find out, huh?

[miss_enma_ai]

It doesn't matter to me. But if you mean by doing cruel deeds then when you die you will go to Hell.

That's all.

[godisachild]

That's one of the things I mean, I guess.

What's Hell like? Is it really worse then here?

[miss_enma_ai]

[...there's a pause and then a very simple, very honest answer.]

Much worse.
