You know, at first I thought I had you all wrong. I thought these April pranks were cool and that you finally understood stuff. I thought we could have a good time and we wouldn't even leave any corpses behind. But noooo. I mean, come on, you guys switch bodies and stuff it's "just a prank" and "all in good fun" but when I want to make a friend I'm "evil" and "a danger to everyone around me". You guys are lame. This isn't a fun trick at all. >::(

Everything.

I gain everything.

I gain life and growth, friendship and memory. I gain a heart that is full of experience.

It is easy to be sad. Unhappiness is as simple as doing nothing. Stagnancy fosters itself until death. But happiness is action. You reach for it and create. You have to be willing to get it. And if you're not willing, then your life is imbalanced. My hosts may endure years of pain before I am called to bring them joy.

The world will never be without despair. I would not survive without it. But that means I can act. I can do something for them. And having known pain, we can know even more how much that joy is worth. Nothing is snuffed. I am a collector. I change. But it is all here within me.

[The response takes a while to come - Sira couldn't be faulted if they assumed one would never come.

But, eventually, there's a reply.]

If the world will never be without despair, why am I so hated?

[emergensirations]

I don't know. You would have to let me in, for me to know you. But I don't see much reason to hate you at the moment.

[jailedmoon]

There are ways to know people without consuming them, little one. I am sure you will come to hate me in time.

[emergensirations]

Consuming isn't how I know them. It's a bond.

And you don't know that. You're just assuming.
