With a sigh of relief, Hinako was somewhat satisfied with the conclusion to the situation at hand. Considering her ignorance to any sort of youkai, or Demi, that existed outside of Japan, she would not really know much of an American author’s depictions of nihilism. So while these individuals around her seemed to have a greater understanding of the subjects in question, and while Hinako was someone to desire the knowledge of the world, she did not wish to comment on something that she clearly had no understanding of. 

[color=ed145b] “Ummm, I don’t really know much about you, but for whatever reason people appear to take you as, but I do apologize for any ill intent you may have received from our peers, Bea. I’d wish you luck at the very least. I know not your intent nor your species, but to presume those things from only someone’s race is unbecoming of civility, and I don’t know perhaps we could be friends or something?” [/color] 

There was a time where Hinako … no not Hinako … the Goddess whose name was lost to time itself, had hated humanity. Even if she currently had come to respect humans in their powerful powerlessness state, those without power tend to desire to harm those with power. She had remembered a book about those tales of class struggles long ago.

During the Meiji restoration, she had seen the ending of the culture she so loved and the destruction of the previously vibrant Youkai community. If people were going to use the same rhetoric to harm others the imperials had used, then Hinako wished to have nothing to do with them. 

The thunder of guns. Even the most powerful of creatures end their existences at the hands of the unexpected … 

[color=ed145b] “I had not assumed your role as individuals, Mr. Edward Carter and Mr. Ascot Sky, but I see you Kirisutans haven’t lost your spiteful side. If all you do is go and start fights, don’t be too confused when those around you no longer stand by your cause, even if it is justified.” [/color] 

Lily’s fear of the unknowing was somewhat justified, as that was a common aspect of those with consciousness, but the constant threats from both the short angel and the individual she imagined to be human were pretty disgusting. Was fear the only thing theses creatures understood? Had humans really not evolved since last she was a god? She had forgiven humans for their actions, but these ideas were what had caused this discriminatory stance against the Demi to begin with in her home country; the destruction of the old ideals lost to the sands of time. 

[color=ed145b] “It it not the purpose of life to live? If all you do is attack the unknown, what sort of society does that make? Regression to beastial roots does not a society I would like to be a part of make. Demi have been discriminated against, some with legitimacy and others without, since the dawn of their existences; I was certain you would understand that. I choose not to hold anger in my heart anymore, but I cannot say I approve of bullying someone who has yet to do something yet. This is a school for diversity, no?” [/color] 

… Perhaps Hinako had taken this too much to heart.

[color=ed145b] “I-I am sorry. I don’t mean to sound brash. Uhh, I just don’t think it is right to judge someone based solely on aspects they cannot control. I’ve known Demi who were hunted solely based on their race, not their character.” [/color]
