Feed Her To The Wolves wrote: When Eisidisi had lead the man inside and requested the aid of Abba, Genji felt embarrased at least. Growing up, he had always insisted on doing things his own way, even when he had gotten injured and Eury had been fussing over him. He hated having to ask a favor of someone, it made him feel like a liability, and due to his childhood, had gained a sense of needing to prove not to others, but to himself he could survive on his own, or perhaps it was something deeper... perhaps, a need to prove his use so he wouldn't be left again.

He disliked this inner train of thought glued to the back of his head, and despite his attempts to think positively, the thoughts would always come back. As the years passed, they had lessened in severity, but nonethless, they still existed. He was tempted to turn down Eisidisi's offer, but the man had already closed Genji's eyes, and unwanting to speak any longer, succumbed to the hands of sleep instantly, having only gotten about 2 hours of rest the night before, but before he had fallen asleep, he thought to himself,

''Why does he suddenly care for me? And why... do I feel this way?''

Leaning against a tree with his arms crossed over his chest, he gazed down towards Eury, rather prepared for the inquiry she had just made. With a sigh, his attention traveled upwards to the moon and its stars, the light illuminating the angular features within his face, deepening the shadows as well. He almost looked up longingly, yearningly.

"Humans can step into the sun without harm. We are superior to them, and yet it harms us." He began, glancing towards a growing root within the earth. "If that is the case, are we truly superior?" His gaze seemed to intensify as he spoke, "Perhaps in some aspects... But I believe that we can go further. We have untapped potential somewhere within us, and I hope to harness it. We will be the perfect species..." He glanced up towards Eury, an almost desperate tone in his voice, "You would say so, right? Think about it, we could step into the sun, do as we want and please, it would be a paradise." "Stepping out into the sun would kill us.." Eury began to think in her mind the same as the other people did. Pulling back at his idea of paradise she gritted her teeth offering just a slight look into what was really in her mind. Though instead she offered a small smile afterwards and nodded, "Yes, I do think that maybe we have some untapped power, but I believe it's only a select few Our DNA is structured differently from others. There would be no way to unlock it. Trust me if I could have denser bones then I would, but it's just apart of the cut." She then revealed whatever twisted ideology that had been pounded into her mind, "Only a few of us can live to the age of perfection where we will finally be able to achieve greatness. As long as we follow whatever the Grand Elder says. Even if we don't like our society, but we follow the rules...we can be perfect." Her mind wandered just for a moment before coming back to the conversation, "But if I could achieve a perfect self then I would trust me, but the only problem is...is that I can't be perfect. I am not built perfect. So I can't step out into the sun like you want. I won't be able to do as I please." She stood up afterwards regretting the whole decision of asking him.

"I don't need to always be reminded what perfection is." Stuffing her hands in the makeshift belt band tied around her waist she avoided eye contact with him still trying to process whatever he was saying. She agreed to some aspect of what he said, but others she just scoffed at. Feeling as if she was being particularly rude instead she sat down and said, "Alright then. Convince me. If I won't agree with you then try to tell me what would benefit me. How it would benefit the whole race...Would we accomplish anything beyond just plain evolution?'
