[what's happening in there]

[debug_mode]

Azdaja...

Look at them. Look at them So trusting...

[the literal sheep]

[She's looking deep into their vacant little eyes, then back to YN]

Did something happen?

[debug_mode]

Well... they made me something really nice...

[she shows it off.]

See? I am still... feeling just terrible about it. You know. Being a weed so long and... stuff.

[wants_the_phd]

They made that? Damn, all the set fabrication practice Angel Devil's been forcing on them's really paid off.

Why would you feel terrible about it, though?

[debug_mode]

I guess "impostor" syndrome. I haven't done enough to "atone." I've started too many feuds. "Do you really think you'll be able to do any good, now, among these people you hated and wanted to mess with?"

That sort of thing.

[wants_the_phd]

Who says you have to do anything at all? Let alone "any good."

Isn't it enough to just ...be?

[debug_mode]

Just 'be'?

[wants_the_phd]

Yeah. Just, be a Rose, or a "sheep", and not worry about if you deserve it or not. You're already here. You don't need to prove yourself, or seek any validation, I would think?

[debug_mode]

...You've got a lot of confidence, Azdaja.

I don't think I'm ready to match it. At least, not yet.

[wants_the_phd]

Just out of curiosity, what do you think is "enough" to validate your presence on this flock? --Which, I will remind you, is completely outside of your control.

[debug_mode]

Easy! Jump in front of someone in danger and drag them down out of it. Just in time.

[wants_the_phd]

Damn. You humans really don't fuck around, do you!

Well, if you ever wanna save my life sometime, I won't complain. I'm a huge fan of not dying.

[debug_mode]

I take not fucking around very seriously.

I don't forget. It won't happen... at least not without going through me.
