[purities]

I have no interest in money. Only satisfaction. [which is to say...] There were four white men in my country at the time I was born. Abijah Fowler is one of them. I will kill him and his ilk for my mother... and myself.

[batterypack]

[ interesting. ]

And what are you going to do about the other three? Are you going to do anything about the other three?

[purities]

The other two. [said with a smile, completely humorless.] Fowler is not the first one I found.

[batterypack]

The other two. [ she does not mind the correction. ] I assume then the answer is to take care of them the way you did the first one. And what you'll do to Fowler.

[purities]

You'd be right. I plan to kill them.

[batterypack]

And then what will you do after that though? Once you've finished your mission.

[purities]

[...

a hum and a shrug.]

Perhaps I'll make my way back to my master's forge and take up blacksmithing again.

[batterypack]

[ that sounds strangely peaceful. ]

Do you think that would make you happiest? To accomplish all of that, and then return to where you were before?

[purities]

If I'm still alive, then I will keep on living. I don't need to be happy. Only satisfied.

[batterypack]

You don't think the two things can coincide?

[purities]

I'm not saying they can't. But it's alright to just be content, no? I don't need to be at my happiest.

[batterypack]

I suppose so. [ contentment is okay. ] But I also think if you're going to be alive and on Earth—or whatever you may call your planet—you owe it to yourself to fight for exactly what you want, and the best of it.

[purities]

[... shakes head.]

What I want is my revenge. I will either have it, or god will see me again sooner than they hoped. Whatever comes after that is... a bonus, as far as I'm concerned.

[batterypack]

[ fair enough. ]

What exactly is your revenge for? Abandoning you and your mother? [ mizu mentioned it was revenge for the both of them, but she's curious what exactly was done. this is her just being nosy. ]

[purities]

Abandoning? No. [making a face like just the idea of being a happy family with those dudes is horrible, actually. gross.] They've been hunting me down to kill me my whole life, just for being one of their bastards. I'm returning the favor.

[batterypack]

Oh. Then that's not revenge, that's getting ahead. [ OKAY. she does not condone murder, but that feels more like self-defense to her. ] See, this is where context really does matter.
