So that's death.

Hm.

Well, that is one mystery solved! I'm sure the Orthodox Church won't be too happy with the news, but a wind of truth would be nice for the clergy. Although the "resurrection" part may have some truth, I am not Christ and I certainly didn't meet God. Or maybe God doesn't want to meet me. And people wonder why I promote atheism and

...Hello, Russia-san..I'm...happy you seem to be doing okay now.

[sunflowersunday]

You as well. I'm glad you didn't have to die to get better.

[vermilionxbird]

..I'm sorry...That I couldn't save you from dying.

[sunflowersunday]

No apologies necessary. It was a good experience! We must experience everything in life, so I consider it fortunate that I had the chance to experience death before the end of the world.

[vermilionxbird]

Still.

I don't want my friends to die..Even if they can come back to life.

You shouldn't worry so much about me. It's quite difficult to kill off countries permanently. Prussia is a good example of this. We adapt, we change as our people do, and adapting is made ever easier by new technology.

Death is just another part of life. For years, people have tried to calm their fear of it through made-up stories they call religion. Now that I have an acute understanding of death, my people can flourish and live lies without worrying about the consequences of sin and judgment!

And that silly Orthodox Church can finally stop whining to me.

[vermilionxbird]

Religion.. I don't really believe in that as well. I wonder why. I used to, when I was a child.

I guess I lost faith when god didn't give me the punishment I wanted.

[sunflowersunday]

As did I. I guess we all have to grow up some day.

Hm?

I bet my grandparents wouldn't be too happy about that since my family had always been caretakers of the shrine.

Right after the war in Japan, I did something terrible. But everyone covered it and made it that I didn't do anything. I thought at least god would punish me, but he didn't do anything either.

[sunflowersunday]

Shrine? Something from an Eastern culture, I presume?

There is no God. ...But if there were, I'm sure He would realize that all good men who bear the weight of a terrible deed do a good enough job punishing themselves.

[vermilionxbird]

It's a place where it honors a certain deity or other spiritual beings and people come to worship it.

Maybe. Or maybe god does exist, and his punishment was that I wouldn't be able to get what I want.
