Are any of you familiar with Carl Jung? If not, then I suggest you do.

But that is not my reason to come to you today. Rather it is to, perhaps, open your eyes should you chose to do so.

What makes good, good and evil, evil? Should both be simply placed as one or the other? If the 'evil' become the ruling force, would the rules be reversed? If someone steps up to remove a tyrant, are they doing good, or, in the eyes of others, are they being the ones who are evil?

...Or are we what makes these forces exist in the first place? Can good be really called good if there is no evil to defeat, no goal for them to attain?

You were all called here for a reason, but should you believe one side...or the other about what is the truth? As we become more enlightened, we tend to forget what came before. And as history has a tendency to repeat itself...

A man looks above to the nearby mountain. He knows not how it was made, and therefore decides that a god put it there. Is this man false? Scientifically, perhaps, we know that mountains are produced by the movement of lithospheric plates. Yet when we knew nothing of this, we saw the truth in a god. And so, this idea is born and now exists. Man gave it power, and the ability to create the mountain is now that god's.

Personas are reflections of a character's inner self, yet they are the gods, demons and powerful creatures of our worlds.

So then...can a man become a god...or was he always one?

[You thought wrong.]

My role still depends on many factors...and besides, I have learned that taking a few risks in the face of what seems like ultimate portability might be...good?

I suppose that's just them rubbing off of me.

[~~oooh anon-tan oooh~~

It's a nervous laugh that follows, but still something. Way to diffuse that nervousness.]

That's true- just remember that you don't have to take the brunt of it. I'm willing to help with this. We're...probably the only two that could handle it, after all.

Be careful, okay? I don't want to have to worry about you, it'll just embarrass both of us.

[There is silence for a few seconds]

Don't speak to me with your sympathy [Don't worry, from the times you've heard them say that, it's more as a half-jest than an insult or a bad remark. Anon-tan just isn't the type to like that sort of thing.] I already had theirs, and that was already too much.

Regardless, there is nothing to be worried about. I've done this dance for most of my life.

You know it's not sympathy, it's understanding. [Surprisingly, he doesn't sound bothered either. This is just a ritual between them.]

Then I guess I should wish you 'good luck'. I'm going to leave the lab to Ceu for a bit, so if you need anything, you know how to get in contact.
