[TEXT] ☾ second phrase: what is christmas
good evening Hinoto-Ri. the oddity of the recent weather aside, i do hope you've been well!
i have a question to ask you; well several questions to be honest. a holiday celebrated by humans is coming up soon, correct? it's called christmas and you're supposed to buy gifts for your friends and loved ones and... put them under a tree. i'm not entirely sure why.
[At least, that's what he thinks it is about. The general gist of it; anyway hey, a chance to show he cares aboutMinato and Minako people and give them presents for the fun of it. But he needs to make absolutely sure he selects the right gifts! Which he has no experience shopping for. :D]
so, what would someone who enjoys music, spending time with their friends, and eating large amounts of food want for christmas? or someone who is loud, enjoys karaoke and talking about himself like as a present? i would appreciate input from others.
[PRIVATE TO RYOJI]
ryoji what do you think they would like?
[C'mon older self, you've grown up and spent some time as a teenager with them, surely you know about to shop for protags on the holidays. Maybe he should get Ekikichi a bottle of hair gel.
Pharos is also facing the dilemma of not... having any money at all to buy presents with, being a kid who does not have a job! Even if he figures out which things he should get for them. Woe. And if he asks the Arisatos for money, that kinda defeats the purpose of buying them presents to begin with... And no, this post isn't locked from either of them btw. ]

1/2 action! does he even realize the can of worms he just yanked open
No no no no no why?
That's not what was supposed to happen. That's not how it was supposed to go. Mother had not brought the Fall?
It's the only disconnected string of thoughts he can come up with at first, and he sits there, struggling with it.
Humans were the ones responsible for the Fall, humans sought their own despair, humans were selfish and uncaring. It was their own despair, bitter nilhism and want for destruction had awoken Her, and caused Her to chose to grant their wish.
They did awful things to themselves and to others, and as much as Pharos honestly likes them and was saddened by their ruinous hunger for self-destruction, he was aware the world in general would be so much better off without them. If they all quietly slipped into the eternal sleep, they could never harm each another again. They could never suffer, be hurt or lonely, or feel sorrow or loss or wage needless warsーnothing bad would ever happen to anyone, since there would be no one for it to happen to. The humans would return to their origin. There would be silence. Cessation of movement, the quiet of night. Peace.
Mankind in their dimension no longer took pleasure from life and the problem had grown worse with time. It would be kinder to let them die, the only mercy that could be afforded to them. Humanity wanted to die. They deserved to die.
The least they could have done was make it quick.
It wasn't like everything would have ended with the coming of the Fall; the potential for life would always remain in the universe. Once given, it was impossible to take away.]
