Um... the dorm was looking kind of empty without Mike around, so I thought I would put up some Halloween decorations. I guess it's kind of funny. Those chimera-toys of his scared me, and now I'm hanging up stuff that's supposed to be scary on purpose.

It got me thinking, though. I wonder why we find all these kinds of monsters scary? I can

I guess because you can't really dress up as a forest fire during Halloween. I'm still going to use my tank everywhere. It's a part of me. Fear's good to have anyone because without it you end up doing way too reckless things. Arguably that would make you a much more efficient fighter, but we come from two different backgrounds don't we?

And I'm not afraid of anything!

I... I won't make you stop using it just because I don't like it. I just... it's hard for me to understand being so attached to something that was made to kill people.

I guess you're right. We do come from really different backgrounds.

Well because it's one of my own inventions, for one.

How we were raised really changes what we fear, I guess. I was raised to fight all my life before coming here, so hurting others is less...important? scary? trivial? I can't find the right word for it...

...I guess that kinda makes me sound like a monster to you, huh?

But I guess I've become a bit more appreciative of life since coming here and meeting everyone. A little. It's hard to throw away so much of what I learned and to be honest I don't want to do that completely, but I'm doing my best to have some sort of balance. If that makes any sort of sense.

I... y-you're not a monster.

I know you're a good person, Lash. I haven't got the right to tell anybody how to live, so... j-just as long as you remember how much a life is worth, that's more important than where you came from.

[things_go_boom]

Yeah..I guess so.

As long as I can still have fun, tee hee hee.

Oh by the way, I lied. I'm afraid of things too.
