sweet freedom

[againstgod]

No.
No more cages.

If I sleep an eternal slumber or not, it should not be anyone's business but mine.
No choice but mine to make.

I don't care if there's someone waiting for my return. Have you forgotten how cruel I can be?
Let them wait.

I wanted you to hear. (Every accomplishment was something he wanted to share with her.) Even surrounded by Angels, I was lonely. I visited the Academy often, looking for young, promising talent. I became a teacher to those that qualified.

[againstgod]

How many qualified to be taught under you?

[hitmelikeastorm]

Two. (Katan and Kirie.) I offered discipline to many others, regardless.

[againstgod]

I know why did you choose Katan.
What about the other one?

[hitmelikeastorm]

She was misused and abused. Kirie was a pretty girl. Her superiors took advantage of her instead of allowing her to spread her wings. I took her under my protection so she could study in peace.

[againstgod]

How magnanimous of you.

She was the girl who killed Sara, wasn't she?

[hitmelikeastorm]

Did you expect for me to take pity on the girl who caused me so much pain?

[againstgod]

The angel was killed too.

Did you weep even once for your fallen student, brother?

[hitmelikeastorm]

She was told not to stay. Her pride interfered with her logic.

I do not weep for fools.

[againstgod]

You were her teacher.
A mentor must look after their pupil's well-being.

If it was how you used to be, would you have wept for her?

[hitmelikeastorm]

I gave her specific orders. She chose to defy me.

...perhaps.

[againstgod]

You realize that you sound uncertain.
I will ask again: would you have wept for her passing?

[hitmelikeastorm]

There was a time I would have... [had the energy to care more.] I have far too many burdens to waste a tear on her.

[againstgod]

Mm.
I wanted to know more of your past.
