THE FINAL â($kp∟G^Ä←âKò♦↑A¶{ê5↕FâMxX=

[foundationmods]

[The day dawns, one final time.

There's still silence, but there is a change in the world around them.

They know....if not everything, than enough.

They know his name.

The name of the one responsible for everything.

So, is it any wonder that they're all drawn, as if pushed, prodded, led.... to a door that now exists directly under the waterfall's stream?

It is a plain, white door, and yet....

Going in makes you feel as if there will be no turning back.]

That's a question for philosophy.

...Maybe it comes down to people are scum.

[le_mat]

Oh?

[He remembers their conversation]

[ugly_split_ends]

Yeah.

...

Get it?

[She looks at him expectantly, like she'll be impressed if he does.]

[le_mat]

Well... I can't say for sure- you did hate it when I tried to interpret your thoughts with my hillbilly bumpkin brain, you know.

But choosing MERCY would be a distinct show of not-scum-ness. Of being better. Even if just outta spite.

[ugly_split_ends]

Ehh... that was your poetry interpretation. I can't just declare you eternally stupid, forever.

Anyway, kinda, sorta, not-really. If everyone is scum, then he's just as good as anyone else. So, why not spare him?

...Is what I'm thinking.

[le_mat]

He's no better or worse than anyone else? I mean, I don't think that's so different from what I said.

[Grin]

We're all shitty by nature. We're just choosing to not be that way even if we can be.

[ugly_split_ends]

Stupid... now you are being stupid. Scum can't just choose not to be scum.

[le_mat]

Maybe. Maybe not. That's what I believe, but I AM pretty stupid.

[ugly_split_ends]

...Y-Yeah. The stupidest.
