WEEK 6 - LOBELIA

Six weeks.

They had been here for that long, and still...the game was continuing.
Yet, it felt like they were finally about to reach the end of it...
Just a little longer. 🗈

Still, things were just the same as they had been the past few weeks.

The goats and servants were still around, and so too were the witches.
Yet, it felt like this week would be the week they would finally get all the pieces to the puzzle.
But...could they solve it?

Only time would tell.

...Erhard's right, too.

How do we lose the game? By admitting that the Witch did it.

Yeah. So either extreme will fuck us.

So we take the middle ground.

[Shadow gestures a bit]

I went over this with Watanuki. He had split his thoughts into "human thoughts" and "witch thoughts". But in the end... humans and witches are the same. She is the same. She wants desperately to be able to put herself into two separate boxes. A pure innocent soul, and an evil witch. But just like the mob that ended her life, she, too, is capable of being both good and evil.

...

You're right. That's how it is for all humans.

And hedgehogs, and youkai, and advanced AI... we must all take responsibility for what we have done. We cannot change the things that other people do to us -- only how we react to those things.

The curse of sapience, I guess.

That's what I've always believed. Nothing is ever purely good or evil, and no one is ever completely blameless. Being alive at all means living in shades of grey. We can't let her keep deluding herself into thinking otherwise.
