Can anyone let... you use their Contempt Ryoshu? Hah... what a strange question. No, perhaps not strange... perhaps inevitable. A question so mundane on the surface, yet beneath it...
Once, long ago, people asked simpler things. "Should I eat today?" "Should I walk east, or west?" And yet, when cities crumbled into dust, when the shadows of Catastrophes...swallowed the horizon whole, those questions rotted into silence. Now, all that remains are endless inquiries without answers... questions that do not seek resolution, but rather carve deeper wounds into those who dare to ask.
You ask if I should lend her. But...do you understand what "borrow" even means? Do you think "borrowing" is joy, fleeting as smoke in the wind? Or is it the hollow act of passing time...filling the silence between battles, between the ringing of sirens, between the shattering of stone and the splattering of blood? For some, "borrowing" is survival. For others... it is nothing more than distraction, an opiate poured over old griefs that refuse to fade.
When you step foot into Rhodes Island...are you prepared to hear the voices of the infected crying out? To watch ideals...clash and fracture in the mud? Ellipses until...you can no longer tell where the sentence ends...and where your thoughts begin..?
Doctor... in the end, no one can answer for you. Should you borrow Ryoshu? Should you not? That is a burden only you can carry. Perhaps the real question is not whether you could borrow Contemptshu... if she will borrow you
