You wish to stay here? Why?

[conflictresolution]

I'm dead back home. This is all that is left.

[nilhilistic]

And you trust this world to keep you alive?

You would have better luck choosing another.

[conflictresolution]

I trust this world sees value in my presence, alive or dead.

[nilhilistic]

. . . Not the people in it?

[conflictresolution]

History has taught me that people aren't particularly trustworthy.

[nilhilistic]

. . . You are a person.

[conflictresolution]

Yes and?

[nilhilistic]

And it means that your gaze is clouded as well.

How long is this history of yours? A hundred years? Two hundred?

[conflictresolution]

It means I recognize my own untrustworthiness.

[nilhilistic]

Congratulations.

But applying it to a broad category seems like a glaring weakness.

[conflictresolution]

I've yet to be disappointed with the assessment.

[nilhilistic]

So you've set yourself up for future disappointment?

[conflictresolution]

No. I prefer to be the change that I want to see in my future.

[nilhilistic]

And what change would that be?

[conflictresolution]

Build a better world.

[nilhilistic]

[ his brow furrows. ]

With no humans in it?

[conflictresolution]

I don't have an appetite for genocide, no. People can remain bit that doesn't mean I will trust them.

[nilhilistic]

[ even to rafal, that sounds circuitous. how can you build anything without trust?

the lack of trust is what destroyed elyos in the end. ]

Do you really believe it's possible to build a better world without trust?

[conflictresolution]

Once it is built, I can leave it to everyone else to maintain. If that is how they wish to operate, so be it.

[nilhilistic]

You wish to build something that cannot last?

And leave it to others?

[conflictresolution]

Whose to say it won't last?

[nilhilistic]

I did.

Your thinking seems fundamentally flawed.

[conflictresolution]

Do enlighten me, oh great one.

[nilhilistic]

With no trust, the world you build will be a silent one. Nothing will grow, nothing will come of it.

It is a child's fantasy.
