canon: the following

[windowtothesoul]

My, it does seem like we will be seeing much more of each other in coming months. You took swift and remarkable interest in my work. You should not be disturbed. It's only natural that you are drawn to what you have been taught to fight against. Understanding what you fear most is the key to unlocking your own potential.

We shall unlock that potential. Together.

WOW! That's deep.

I guess it is best to face what you fear, huh?

[windowtothesoul]

Ah, thank you. There is nothing in this world that should be feared, merely understood. Death, for example, is not a horrible thing. It is a fact of life. There is beauty in it.

[like_its_golden]

...Yeah, I guess that's true too. Wow; I learned something new! [Kintaro pulls out his trusty notebook, and decides to write that quote down. "Death is not a horrible thing." -Random dude.]

Though, obviously, I do think that life is much prettier! Haha! [The man chuckles.]

[windowtothesoul]

Death can be just as beautiful if you know how to look.

[like_its_golden]

[Blink.] Really?

...Thennn... How should I be looking?

[inthishouse]

If she doesn't want to unlock it, she shouldn't unlock it.

[windowtothesoul]

Who doesn't want to unlock their own potential and become more than they are?

I believe she has no reservations in unlocking her potential.

[inthishouse]

I think "more" and "less" is often a matter of how you look at it. Fear doesn't usually... define it, one way or another.

[windowtothesoul]

Really. I would be most interested to hear more.

[inthishouse]

I just mean, you shouldn't be makin' her do anything she doesn't want to.

[windowtothesoul]

I would never dream of it.

[inthishouse]

You seem like a convincing guy.

[mylittleheart]

You're not going to unlock anything.

[windowtothesoul]

Oh? I hardly see the harm in allowing someone to be a little more than they are.

[mylittleheart]

You wouldn't. I'm not going to let you add someone else to your cult.

[windowtothesoul]

Cult? That's not quite her destiny. You see we share some rather interesting views on you, Ryan. Oh, she likes to see you try to stop me.

[mylittleheart]

What's her destiny, Joe? Going to make her your protégé?

[windowtothesoul]

I won't make her anything she does not wish to be. Not like you, my flawed hero of this tale.

[mylittleheart]

This isn't your story anymore. Your cult isn't here to help you write the chapters.

[windowtothesoul]

Friends, Ryan. They are my friends.

[mylittleheart]

Whatever you want to call them, it doesn't change the fact that they aren't here.
