[She's a little confused by all of the activity surrounding the artifacts brought out, if only because the reactions she's seen thus far don't necessarily appear to be pleasant -and her own recollections of the past certainly aren't happy ones.]Aside from having Anatole's past dredged up, what was the purpose for having people excavate the Ruins?

Well. Some memories are...

I mean. They may be worth digging up. Even if they sting.

[She stops there, because... really, she hasn't decided yet whether or not this is one of the ones that are worth it.]

[falleneighth]

What would make them worthwhile? Something that hurts... Shouldn't it be best left untouched?

[yetsleeping]

Not always. What if... I don't know.

[Wow, someone's definitely sounding unsure today.]

[falleneighth]

I'm sorry, I don't understand...

[impossibly]

It's forbidden fruit.

[falleneighth]

It should have been left undisturbed.

[impossibly]

I agree.

You'd prefer to let dying dogs lie, then?

[falleneighth]

If it is already dying and nothing one can do will bring it back, then yes.

[everything_rots]

But what if someone could bring it back?

[ video ]

[falleneighth]

It wouldn't be the same dog.

Sometimes, you can learn from the past, you know. Sometimes, that's the only place to look for those lessons.

Re: Voice

[falleneighth]

But if one didn't learn them the first time, what good will rehashing it later do?

[i_love_squats]

Time can give you a new perspective. Sometimes, anyway.

[mudhair]

Um. That's... a really good question actually.

[UH HUM] To be honest, I don't really know.

[falleneighth]

Humans are confusing.
