We have. Don't worry. And-- well. Despite everything I've said, we can't use that power anymore, anyway.
[lol]
In the end, we decided to erase the cognitive world completely and relinquish society to trustworthy adults. And I think all of us will grow up to better the world in our own ways, no matter how big or small our impacts may be.
I imagine it's given you some good insight. To have to think about this when you're young is cruel, but maybe it means you'll learn not to make the same mistakes when you become the adults others rely on.
I don't think stealing hearts was a mistake. It was our justice, our path, and even though others might not have agreed with us. . . we still think what we did was right.
[but]
But I know a world that relies on Phantom Thieves to solve all of its problems isn't a world that should exist at all. So I'll trust current adults to better society as much as they can while they still have the power and hope that one day I'll be able to do the same.
It's a firm ideal, and one you have to have faith in, even over the idea of what might be right or wrong. If you know the reasons behind it, and know where you can and can't draw the line for what you feel is right, then that's what's more important.

Anyway. As much as I'd love to continue this whole dialogue, I do need to go wash up. You can follow me to the cabins, if you'd like. I don't mind either way.
[and they can just shittalk at each other the whole time because that's pure]

Society is shitty. People are shitty. But. . . [a tiny shrug] I do want to believe that they can be better.

Sure. I was heading that way, anyway. Just don't let me keep you.
