[makes a mental note to borrow that from the library when kyoko is done with it...]

[factoring]

[You could've just asked her to read it out loud.

She would have.]

[dendroculi]

[if it seems like it will take her a while to finish she might...]

[factoring]

[ It's not a long story. Since she's right there- ]

Would you like to read it?

[dendroculi]

Hehe. If you're done with it, I would. Did you enjoy it?

[factoring]

[ It's hers for now. ]

I did. I'll wait until you're finished before we talk about it more.

[dendroculi]

[well, she reads through it!

...and looks kind of sad when she gets to the end. oh. :( ]

[factoring]

[ Kyoko's emotions are still at the calm hum. ]

Would you want a different ending?

[dendroculi]

...I'm not sure. A happier ending might be nice, but... would it be realistic?

[factoring]

For some people this is about the husband not respecting his wife. For others, the Crane is literally giving away parts of herself in order to improve their living conditions.

I've never been in love. I don't know what's realistic. Humans are all so different. Maybe if it was someone else it would play out differently.

[dendroculi]

I haven't been, either. But I wouldn't want someone I loved to give away parts of themselves just so we could live...

[says the god with "self-sacrificial nonsense" in her skillset. it's fine.]

...if you care for someone, you can't help but try to look in on them if it seems like they aren't doing well. I guess I never thought about how that might be disrespecting them before...

[factoring]

[ Have you considered ... Not being self sacrificial? It's not that difficult. ]

I suppose it's also due to how they met. He saved her life, and she may feel that it's her turn to save him in whatever way she's able.

[dendroculi]

[impossible]

But he saved her life, so... how could she think that he would be okay with her giving away parts of that life for his own sake?

[factoring]

She could have believed she was only living on borrowed time. In her mind, perhaps all that time belonged to him.

[The static here is interested, but there's really... no part of her that agrees with this action.]

[dendroculi]

Hmm... maybe. It's an interesting perspective, but I'm not sure if it's one I can agree with.

[why are they having philosophical discussions about the crane wife on murder night]
