It sounds exhausting, to play peace keeper. [ scien is a non-violent person most of the time (exceptions: when he's in a bad mood) but he's never intentionally kept the peace once in his life. still, he sees the point that aerith is making ] Vent here as much as you'd like. You can afford to call more people stupid, especially if they're being stupid.

[ aerith seems like such a nice person, but she definitely has enough fire to her that scien thinks she should be allowed to say fuck.

but he'll just frown in response to the memory. he'd seen the same thing - and while he'd heard pieces of it from his own lucas at home, experiencing it was different. it was frustrating, especially as the person responsible for creating a technology that was so grievously misused ]

Fear is irrational. He's allowed to be afraid of that, but I won't let it happen. Someone has to go get that child. She's very smart and resourceful, but right now? She's still twelve.

[ nadia is scien's favorite patient and the sole reason why he gets better with kids ]
