[ . . . I don't know what to say, except to offer a hand. . . ]



Sorry.

[. . . laughs a bit as he takes Mukuro's hand]

There's no reason for you to be.

[adharma]

[ pulls up? ]

. . . I thought you might take it better than anyone else.

[odetojoy]

[y, looking more composed now]

It was unexpected, but I don't think you were wrong.

[adharma]

Ah. I wasn't sure how to describe it in words, anyway.

[odetojoy]

The downside of humanity might be a good way to describe it.

[adharma]

[ laughs ]

Is that what it was?

[odetojoy]

[shrugs]

How else would you call it?

[adharma]

I would have just said 'humanity'.

[odetojoy]

Even if humanity is worse than I expected it to be, where would you put those who don't fit in there? Exceptions?

[adharma]

Who doesn't fit there?

[odetojoy]

What about Ruby or Kunzite?

[adharma]

Everyone on Ruby, it seems, has done something rather terrible in the past. Or is likely to have.

[odetojoy]

[laughs]

That's true. I suppose humanity as a whole is meant to be ruthless, even if some humans are set on believing otherwise.

[adharma]

It does seem like a human trait.

[odetojoy]

Humans are inherently selfish, after all.

[adharma]

Small minded and selfish.

[odetojoy]

Yes. Even if some wish to do good, it only seems to be for their own selfish desires.

[adharma]

I'm glad you understand.

[odetojoy]

I believe I do.
