Week 3 | 2amish After Execution

[eternaldivide]

[ Mithos wasn't sleeping. He couldn't sleep after all that. Though he doubts that there are many other people who are sleeping after the trial. Eventually, although he's not one hundred percent sure why he decided on it, he'll find himself walking over to Room 4 and knocking on the door.

Maybe it's because there was something about Minato that reminded him of someone else ... or maybe it's because he reminds Minato of someone he finds himself knocking on the door.

Either way ... he's there now and he's knocking. ]

Minato, are you awake?

[ He'll wait for an answer. If he isn't awake he'll turn around and head back to his room no big deal, but he does have a few words for him now that he's here, in front of his door. ]

[None of this is surprising, except maybe that Mithos is talking about it. All for one reason.]

Really are.....just like Ken-kun. Was after revenge, too. For his mother.

[Information for information, right? Mithos can pursue that, if he likes, but for now....he needs something. Answers. Comfort. Guidance.

He needs to grieve.]

...making humans suffer isn't going to help you. [Just like getting revenge wouldn't have helped Ken.] Can't claim to know what your sister would want, but I think you do. What she'd do, if you were the one who left her behind.

Not....trying to say you can't be angry, or that you need to move on. Not how it works. But... ["Let your anger be your strength" doesn't seem like what Mithos needs to hear. He'd asked a question. How...]

Think....if I were in your position.... Would want to protect what the one important to me loved.

[ Mithos' eyes widen when Minato brings up Ken and his mom. That again.... ]

His... mother..?

[ Just ... how much similarity does he have with this Ken? Not that is matters, in the end.

For a moment Mithos is quiet before he speaks again. ]

Her last wish ... was for the world to become a place where elves, humans, and those who were stuck in-between could all live in peace. She ... she would've kept with her wish.

[ He knows that. And he does intend to grant her wish. To make the world a place for them to live ... ]

So then ... I'll protect that wish. A world for me and my sister ... I'll fulfill it.

[ He doesn't seem to acknowledge the whole point Minato made about Humans does he. Only his Sister. ]

[biddentodance]

[He notices that. Hmm...that's. Not good?]

Sounds like she wanted a world where everyone could be happy, regardless of race.

[He doesn't want to push it, but...he does slightly emphasize the word 'regardless'. Hopefully he won't have to be more direct.]

Ken-kun.... His mother was murdered. Protected him - he saw the whole thing. But because he was a child, and because of the circumstances, no one would believe him. Listen to him. Even talk to him about it. And.... Japan's not really friendly to orphans... Can't blame him for being angry.

[eternaldivide]

It's ... what we were striving for. Before her death. A world where... everyone could be happy ...

[ Regardless of race ... hmm ... Well, that aside, hearing Ken's story Mithos' eyes soften with sympathy. ]

Is that so ... Just like my sister, his mother was killed right before his eyes. And simply because he was an orphan they didn't listen ... Just like how the King wouldn't listen to my sister and I when we were warning them of an attack and ... the Kingdom was destroyed.

... I can't blame him for being angry, either. The only difference between him and I is that ... she was killed and they didn't listen. For us ... they didn't want to listen. When we finally got them to end the war ... she was killed by those who still wanted the mana for themselves.

[ But either way the end result is the same. Someone they loved was killed by Humans, and their selfishness got in the way of their happiness in some way. ]
