A question, dear City.
Does it strike anyone else as odd -- yes I'd say odd is the very word -- that a city such as this, though similar to one many of us know yet different in many monumentally crucial ways (I could provide a list, if anyone cared to argue), observes the same holidays as many of us do as well?
I find it curious. Yes, curious, because as anyone should know, a holiday is much much more than simply a day. It is a day with historical significance. What does it imply that the world which houses a city wherein death doesn't last, citizens are pulled in by force and drafted as heroes and run by a self-proclaimed Deus Ex Machina -- no offense meant of course, ma'm -- has the same historical backbone many of ours does? Or do they observe these days because we are here?
Something to think about.
