...So now?

[Delta's voice in the background.]

Okay. Uh, hi. This is Theta. I'm not there right now, so leave a message and I'll reply when I get it. ...Bye.

But people know that it's wrong.

[skyward_eyes]

Yes, some people clearly do. But they aren't the ones who one. They don't get to pick the story they tell.

[trustandfireworks]

That's not fair!

[skyward_eyes]

No, it isn't, but it's what the world is. In history there are winners and losers.

[trustandfireworks]

But that doesn't mean you can ignore bad things people did!

[skyward_eyes]

Except the powerful people who are in charge want to ignore the bad things so people like them.

[trustandfireworks]

Then they're bad people too.

[skyward_eyes]

There's... a good chance of that.

[trustandfireworks]

I don't like bad people.

[skyward_eyes]

They aren't bad so much as... greedy.

[trustandfireworks]

But they do bad things because they're greedy.

[skyward_eyes]

Perhaps. Or they do bad things because they think they are good things...

[trustandfireworks]

Maybe they need someone to explain it to them.

[skyward_eyes]

They probably do.

[trustandfireworks]

So why hasn't anyone?

[skyward_eyes]

Because they have the power to believe what they want to believe.

[trustandfireworks]

Do you have people like that on your world?

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah. Too many.

[trustandfireworks]

So it's not just here then. I-I'm not sure if that's worse or not.

[skyward_eyes]

It's how life works sometimes.

[trustandfireworks]

People like that shouldn't be allowed in power.

[skyward_eyes]

Sadly they have the power to be in power.

[trustandfireworks]

I wish they didn't.

[skyward_eyes]

I'll tell you sometime about the things I've seen.

[trustandfireworks]

O-Okay.
