Ok Maybe Its Not Physiological But It Is Cultural
And To Profess That Earth Is A Consistently Nice Place Requires A Certain Measure Of Dishonesty

[quackery]

well i'm still from earth

[speakveryclearly]

Ok What Was It Like
Did People Lie And Cheat And Steal
Did A Significant Portion Of The Populace Endure Hunger And Other Forms Of Impoverishment
While The So-Called Government Went To War With Itself
And Spent Exorbitant Amounts On Its Prisons Where Droves Were Kept Without Parole

[quackery]

yes to everything but the last part because i'm not sure about that

but so many fought against the bad things they saw in the world too even if it meant risking their lives

you can't just focus on the bad things you see. it's important to acknowledge that there are good things too. how many of the people who went with you on that mission are human?

[SHE WAS HOPING THAT WOULDN'T COME UP

The sweet Transports have begun to saturate her social circle, and she can't keep coming up with individual explanations for their charms.]

A Lot

[quackery]

see??

[speakveryclearly]

Ok I Didnt Mean Earth Is Literally All Bad All The Time
I Just Wish That
People Didnt Pretend This Is A Uniformly Nice Planet Where Nobody Ever Dies

[quackery]

if anybody ever said that i'm pretty sure they're delusional or sarcastic

[speakveryclearly]

I Keep Not Expressing It Right
I Dont Know How To Explain The Sense That
Your Planet Has This Deathless Culture
Thats Completely Incomprehensible To This Day
It Seems Like
The Ideal Is Supposed To Involve Nobody Ever Killing Anyone
Death Is Never A Good Thing
Its Always A Bitter Pill To Swallow Even In The Most Elaborately Justified Of Scenarios
Instead Of Something Normal

[quackery]

um

is death a good thing in your world

[speakveryclearly]

It Happened For A Reason
Thats What I Miss The Most
Because Remember What I Told You Before
We Cant Go Back There
Its All Gone
At Home Though
I Had Faith Things Happened For A Reason

[quackery]

well death here happens for a reason too it's just a bad reason 95% of the time

[speakveryclearly]

"A Machine Reached Its Twelve Thousand Sixty Third Calculation Cycle" Is Not A Reason
Okay You Can Perhaps Amend "Reason" To "Good Reason"

[quackery]

okay, then sometimes there's not a good reason

i'm sorry that it's more complicated than where you came from

[speakveryclearly]

It Might Not Even Be More Complicated
Maybe Its Just My Fault For Not Being Hatched And Raised Here

[Wait shit she has to send another message]

Born And Raised I Mean

[quackery]

how is that your fault

[speakveryclearly]

Its Not I Guess
After Two Years Though Doesnt That Stop Being An Excuse

[quackery]

you don't need an excuse to think differently than everyone

[speakveryclearly]

I Dont
?

[quackery]

of course you don't!

[speakveryclearly]

I Just Get
Tired

[She still doubts herself for this; letting out her emotions feels good, but she doesn't feel like Ahiru is really a person with whom she's supposed to be doing it]

[quackery]

i get it

i think right now everyone is frustrated with how things are going so some of them are going to want to take it out on people they don't agree with

but that doesn't make your opinion less valid. and i'm sorry it gets tiring

[speakveryclearly]

I Didnt Want To Take It Out On You Like This
I Wanted To Cheer You Up

[quackery]

you aren't taking anything out on me we're just talking! that's what friends do :)

[speakveryclearly]

Yeah

[F...RIENDS... YEAH...]
