The Queen's power has to be less than God's... So why do you think He lets us be brought here? This goes a little beyond giving us free will, don't you think?

[Ky's unsure herself, but there's no way to gain certainty. She can only find out what other people are thinking, and that for some reason feels particularly important.]

What purpose are we serving here?

[reverentresistance]

I don't think that treasuring them is wrong, it's just that...

I lack a duty here, the obligations that I do have I can't fulfill.

[imperial_ray]

You're restless...

Adjusting to a peaceful life... it must be difficult for you.

[reverentresistance]

It's not that I see peace as wrong at all...

I just know that there are things I should be doing and that I can't. I don't trust this peace.

[imperial_ray]

I see...

Is there anything I can do to help?

[reverentresistance]

Being around you does, sometimes... I don't really think of anything else.

-But she should, so that just makes Ky feel a little guilty.-

I don't know.

[imperial_ray]

It's... not impossible for you to be granted an audience with the Queen.

But... I'm not sure how I feel. If the Queen even granted you return... I... I'm not sure I'd want to follow.

[reverentresistance]

You're...

I suppose that we don't come from quite the same world anyway.

[imperial_ray]

It's not even that, really... It's that... there was so much pain and uncertainty in my life back home. Here, that all seems so far away...

[reverentresistance]

I'm sorry. If you went back with me...I'd do my best to protect you.

[imperial_ray]

... I know you would. And for that, I will always be grateful. But you are one person... and you cannot change an entire world on your own.

[reverentresistance]

If one person can change the world in a negative direction then why should I be able to change it in a positive one?

[imperial_ray]

Justice changed the world by force.

[reverentresistance]

But that doesn't mean that force is the only way the world can change.

[imperial_ray]

It's not. And that's my point. You shouldn't compare your goals to hers.

[reverentresistance]

My goals are my goals, what I compare them to won't change what they are.

[imperial_ray]

Mm... Your dedication... I always admired that about you.

[reverentresistance]

That's kind of you to say.

[imperial_ray]

I've many more kind things I could say about you.

[reverentresistance]

-Ky's cheeks turn a little pink-

And I'm sure there are more that could be said about you.

[imperial_ray]

It's not really about who has more, is it? -A giggle.-

[reverentresistance]

No, of course not. I just...admire you.

-Dizzy's genuine desire to help other people, he innocence and purity...it's part of the reason Ky feels the way she does about Dizzy-

[imperial_ray]

Mm... I do not mind being admired by you, but I must admit, I'm never certain how to react.

[reverentresistance]

You don't have to react any particular way.

[imperial_ray]

Are you certain? It seems like there should be a process to it all.

[reverentresistance]

There isn't one, as far as I'm aware. Just...follow your heart.
