There’s no dignity in making them fight like animals amongst themselves, or in making them rise from the grave with new and unpredictable curses upon them, or tearing their loved ones from them suddenly and without notice. This is not a place for dignity, even if it’s something they deserve. It’s a place to test how they’ll conduct themselves without it, and today, Tim’s failed. ]
It is, isn’t it? I hope you’ll get to see it in fall, when the leaves turn. It’s all very real, as fantastical as it all seems. And the fantastical isn’t all that bad, actually. A lot of people have abilities that they use for good. Empathy, and healing, and protection. It’s not all violence.
