WEEK SIX

Sunday starts with more aches and pains than you might be used to. Florence patched people up after Saturday’s lesson, sure, but it’s not a complete cure - not to mention it doesn’t ease the sting of betrayal. Some classmates that you thought would cooperate wound up breaking your trust in the end, and this week will be interesting with the fallout.

It’s hard to say what this week will have in store otherwise. Things are changing, and it’s not clear what this means for all of you. On the bright side, however, the creatures and places you once knew from home have suddenly disappeared, so that's less that you need to worry about. There are new areas for you to look at as well.

I see. Thank you for the answer, Mr. Callias.

Would... it be better for everyone if I developed a sense of self?

Having the ability to make choices for yourself is also important. I'm sure the people who made you would be ecstatic to see that you would be capable of doing such a thing, but really. In the end, it should be up to you—not because it would be better for everyone else.

But...

[They cut themself off, before changing tracks. It's not something they would typically do.]

I see. I will take that into consideration.

But what?

[ spit it out, Florence ]

...I was made for, and because of, other people. People who are actually people, and not just an artificial recreation of one. How could I decide to do something for "myself"?

Well, you decided to host an ice cream party. Even if the decision was for other people, it's still a decision you made. You're halfway there.

[ Hm. ]

But do you want to?
