This Susan may benefit from Her too. I am pleased that you have become so taken with Her, Chie. She will be so happy if you bring your friend to Her and convince her to follow that She may even bless you like She has done for me.

I would like to meet Susan some time. You speak highly of her.

As for Kira, he is nothing like us. He killed for pleasure. I had a memory that I forgot until it was placed in front of me. I had a friend when I was very young-- my baby sitter. He broke in an killed her while I was under her care. She helped me escape through a window and lost her life in the process. She was bound to our town as a spectre who couldn't be put to rest until something was done about him.

People like that-- the ones who kill for the sake of their own gain --are awful. He did it for fun to fulfil a fetish he has. Objects.

The difference between people like us and people like him is that it isn't something we enjoy. I have been accused of enjoying what I do. That isn't the case. If you don't feed, you die. Most don't come to terms with that or acknowledge that they will only get worse if they go on without.

At least I can admit that what I have done is wrong in the eyes of 'normal' people.

She's weirdly nice. Like, She does care about us and wants us to like ourselves and be happy. She's got some weird ways of showing it but. She thought I was worth something, you know? I'm not used to people thinking I'm worthy.

I think maybe when u get down to it, that's the big difference between us and the fourthies. We're about accepting who we are now and learning to like being what we are. They're about rejecting it and hating what they are.

I've spent enough time hating myself that I'd rather try loving me for a change. U know?

I think u would like Susan. I definitely want to introduce u two. She's just a year younger than me and she's very tough and clever. Also she's beautiful. She was really beautiful when she was a human but actually she's still beautiful now in a bug kind of way.

It's funny. When I first got here I was so scared of people and I tried hard to hide it but I'm not really anymore except maybe some of the fog forms. It's become almost normal.

I miss my friends and all but Ryslig is really okay.

She only wants the best for us. If She didn't, She wouldn't have offered us foresight. The Fourth's followers are in denial that they are fixing anything or are any better.

They think that we are the manipulators... They are wrong.

Trust me, Chie. If you bring any of your friends to Her side, I will be sure to keep them safe as well. You know that, yes?

[lowsteaks]

I do.

And u know I'll protect all of Hers too. It's what I'm here for, I think. It's why She chose me. I think maybe it's why She made me a bear too.

[manuscripture]

I told you that you were chosen for a reason.

She doesn't make mistakes.

[lowsteaks]

She doesn't.

I hope I can help Her better as time goes on too. I think I can.
