Have you guys ever wondered why we hated humans and the world? Like, seriously stopped to wonder? I would’ve thought Brighid’s Driver would have a clue.
[Blades had no place in Alrest but to serve humans. subservience was hardwired into their very beings. that’s what Jin and Malos had driven into their heads over and over again— and Amalthus’ actions only served to prove them right.
but it’s not always like that. Jin loved Lora. Lora loved Jin. Drivers who see their Blades not as tools but as equals are the real deal, and the reason why that system worked for old Torna.
then Amalthus fucked things up. Core Crystals were treated as commodities to be shipped in bulk and distributed to armies. Blades had to be registered with the Praetorium like livestock, and Alrest simply went along with it. Mikhail scoffs.]
It’s easy to see the good in others when you’re born under the right star. I envy you people. You’ve got people to love, and a reason to live. Is it really so bad if I want a part in that, for a change?
