You say that as if it happens all that often, when two people are saved. Unfortunately, people hold the worst parts of themselves in their hearts, and act more selfishly than they think. They would tear each other down for the sake of themselves, hm!

[Douman stares down at Lust, dark eyes piercing.]
Oh. The concept of a selfish person and the concept of a person who works for the sake of others are hardly separate. Of course, people can change, and act for the sake of others. I knew of a man who took on the grief of his people dying, over and over again, and became a figure that stood, steeped in vengeance. We all affect one another. All we have to remember is that even the most seemingly selfless acts can, at their core, be selfish too.

Love is...a yearning sort of feeling. Its warm and sad and needy. And happy when you see the person you love happy, or when you spend time together.
[They seem to rattle it off, like a definition.]
But...its frustrating! It is! Even knowing that, I...still don't quite understand. Do you...know what love is, Light?

Yup! I have a lot of people who follow my accounts and everything, but I'm still getting started. It's gonna take a lot more work to keep promoting myself.
[but...yeah. they go quiet again as they start doing the detail work on douman's nails.]
My mom's the best. She's kind of like one of my best friends. We usually do everything together because it's been just the two of us for a long time. She's a teacher at an elementary school nearby, so she's home in the evenings and has weekends and holidays off, too. So that's nice.

[This sounds...a lot like the simple history of a human being, not some massive Avatar of an entire sin. Douman glances down at the detail work on the nails, thinking.]
Does she know you're in a place like this? Do you ever see her? I can't imagine the bonds between mother and child could be broken this easily.
