☀️ Arselia and Akonia

– Well… – the Nosferatu blinked. – You know, out of all the numerous possible negative futures, you’ve chosen the least likely one right now. It’s almost… disappointing, how incredibly unlikely it is. Do I really look like some kind of unhinged berserker? – the girl casually sat down on a bench. – And life is indeed fleeting, like a person who has consciously risked it twice in the last week. I know this for sure. That’s why I made a promise to myself to cherish every second and only do what I find interesting. Your principles… there’s something similar in them, isn’t there?

– Your answer shows that you are still very naive and don’t know all the multifaceted nastiness of life, Erefir. It doesn’t matter whether you look like an unhinged berserker or not, because what if you’re under some kind of angry curse, or there’s a dangerous alien living in your chest, ready to break free at any moment… There are many possible scenarios. So it’s better to never relax. Or, on the contrary, just not care about anything at all.

– Do you feel like a copy, a ridiculous quirk of Miss Cosmos, or not? I, for example, don’t. And I don’t care what anyone else says or thinks about it, because I know that my feelings and memories belong to me and no one else. Moreover, I didn’t ask anyone to tear my soul out of my home world, and certainly not to subject it to tortures that have lasted for three decades. So I disagree with you. I don’t feel obligated to this world in any way. My sense of duty is directed towards people – for example, you, my benefactor and friend; Gaheris, who saved me and Azarina; Neria, who gave me shelter and a purpose; and most importantly, towards myself. – Although her words sounded strict, Sonata’s face was still adorned with a warm smile. – And as for the perverted ancestor, I apologize, my relatives have a tendency to go too far. I’ve recently become interested in studying our world from the perspective of the locals, and they write that my cousin supposedly conquered it and became a goddess. Can you imagine? And you’re worried about the quirks of the cosmos.
