On "heroes" and a reserve at maskormenace | Canon is MONSTER

[kinderheim]

[A polite laugh.]

Well, it may not be a genre I'm familiar with, but... well, you are aware that I've just finished with research on my thesis, regarding the civil liberties and rights of our children? And I'm sure you must also be aware of "The Psychology of the Child Archetype" by Carl Jung. At least, you must be familiar enough with the concept of Jungian archetypes to know that in "The Psychology of the Child Archetype," it's explained that the hero's feat... is to overcome the monster of darkness.

[Johan smiles - a very pleasant, yet very empty sort of smile.]

Have heard that before. [dry? oh yes. very, very dry.]

[well, can't say he didn't see that coming. so he'll answer truthfully:]

The world for what it is.
