...Love, Nataku?

Yes.

Mother explained it to me once; the love that I have for Father. But I could not understand the love that Grandfather had for me. I want to understand that now. I don't know why, but I'm curious.

Love... Like... Romantic love, Nataku?

Because you can love friends and family as well!

There are different kinds?

Oh.

Well. Love between friends is purely platonic. To care for someone completly, but not to love them in the romantic sense.

Love between family is simply there and always will be. Such as your love for your Mother and Father.

And Romantic love... [Transcribed sigh] Romantic love is when you love someone above all others. Someone who makes you feel so wonderful and that you would do anything for no matter what it was.

What if the love's overlap?

Overlap? What- Oh! Well... I guess you love your family above all else?

[Transcribed laugh] It's ok to have them overlap. It just means you'd prefer your family to a lover.

I'm ... happy to hear that. ^^

[Transcribed happy bark and a small heart, talon-drawn with dirt.]

Alright. I'll try to answer as many as I can.

(ooc: oh god. Not again. XD)

For a child to be good, they have to listen to their ~~parents~~ father, right?

When someone changes, but will eventually change back, does that mean that the original changed version is still there?

Why do the clones and originals not get along? Why do humans want to destroy them? Are they all like that?

I remember being told that wishes were precious, important, and to have them granted will make that person happy -- which wish should be honored the first or the second?

If someone wants to redeem themselves for being ...bad, should not everyone accept them? Why do people not accept 'I'm sorry?'

In most cases, yes.

....can you give me an example?

They tend to be bitter toward each other because each feels like they are the 'real' one. Usually it's the clone that feels the most bitter. I....don't know. I don't think they're all like that.

I may need another example for that one, love.

Sometimes things that people do hurt other people SO much that just saying that they're sorry doesn't make up for the hurt that they caused. And sometimes when people say it they don't really mean it, they're just saying it because they don't want to be in trouble any more.

All right.

Well, Theta told me that Koschei is still inside the Master, but not, yet he's very kind now that he's lost his memories, does that mean that Koschei is still there, that even though he's changed, he's still him?

I don't believe myself to be the 'real.' Bitter? Why would they feel bitter?

The wish to be with Father or the wish to die for Mother, which should I honor?

Why doesn't make up for the hurt that it caused? In trouble? People don't want to be in trouble? Why? But why wouldn't they mean it? But what if when they do mean it, they still are not forgiven? Does that mean that they can never be redeemed? Why can't the people give redemption?

He's very changed and I think that's generally a matter of opinion. For example: I have a very good friend who changed for a week into someone very different. In my opinion they are two different people. They just have the same body. It might be different if you ask someone else, though.

Because they are just a copy of someone else. Many of them think that they are just copies and not their own people.

[startled sound].... Nataku I think....that's something that only you can decide, love.

Well ....if someone was to...say...hurt or kill one or both of your parents you'd be very angry and upset, wouldn't you?
Sometimes just because someone is SORRY for doing something bad doesn't make anyone less angry at them because they took away something so precious. Does that make sense?

A matter of opinion? Something that I have to decide? But if he's still a good friend, does it matter if he changed?

Then, I'm not my own person?

But, I can't make decisions on my own.

[shocked, sound of cloth moving]

Who wants to do that to Mother and Father?

Well if he is still a good friend then it shouldn't matter too much, no.

No, Nataku. You ARE your own person! Some people who are clones just have a lot of trouble realizing that.

What? Why can't you?

No one that I know of, love. It was hypothetical. It was just a made up story to try to help you understand.

That's ... good.

Oh. All right.

I don't know. I just can't.

... All right. I'm glad. [thoughtful pause, before answering] There was someone who wanted to hurt Father and another who wanted to harm Mother, but they didn't make me mad or upset.

Something so precious? No, it doesn't make that much sense to me.
