Yulli shook her head.

"Fighting is bad. I don't know if these people are bad. I don't like bad people. I want to destroy them. Bad people hurt other people, and that's not good. They need to die."

She clattered.

"HEY XI THAT LAST HIT I SCORED DIDNT EVEN HURT HIM CHILL"

Xiylna looked at him curiously. "I don't think I know you. Do I want to know you?"

She clattered.

Xiylna continued to float in small circles, lost in thought. "I don't know how I got here. I don't remember. There are a lot of things I don't remember. I think I remember you. You are good. You are not bad. Unless you are? Are you bad?"

She shook her head, watching Xiylna with empty eyes.

"ON THE GREAT SWORDSMAN'S NAME- I AM SLEEPER. AND YOU LIKELY DON'T WANT TO KNOW ME, BUT YOU HAVE TO"

"Sleeper is an odd name. Why do I have to know you? Why don't I want to?"

She shook her head, watching Xiylna with empty eyes.

"That's good. I don't think you're bad. But there were other skeletons attacking us. I think they were bad. I don't really know. Isn't that odd? I've been alive--well, dead, but I feel more alive dead than I ever did alive. That's odd too, don't you think--but I've been around for a long time, and there are a lot of things I don't know. I think the longer I have to think, the less I know, the less I remember, or maybe it's just this place, because nightmares are very scary. How strange, that I can have nightmares even though I don't sleep. I don't...I...Why are living things so cruel? Why am I the only one left who remembers that they must be destroyed?"

Yulli, as ever, had no reponse.

sleeper comes up behind them and gives them a tap. "because we are a bunch of bastards. thats why." he smiles sadly, and he puts xiylna to sleep, then disappears again.

You...can't give Xiylna a tap?? She has no physical body?

Xiyna floated down lower to the ground. "I have too many words today. You're very good at listening, Yulli, but I suppose that comes from not being able to talk, the same way my words come from only being able to talk. Oh, what a strange world we live in."

Just now, TheRavenHasLanded said:

"hey, xi, why do you hate fighting so much? its oftentimes necessary, which sucks but also is just how the world works, yeah?"

Quote

Oh, I see. Okay.

"Fighting is bad. Mother says fighting with sister is bad. Fighting hurts sister. Fighting is very very bad because hurting is very bad, and fighting makes people hurt." She blinks. "How odd. No one's ever called me Xi before. You are odd, Sleeper."

"you'd be surprised, i have a heart you know." and he smiles, and sits, wondering why his opponent had frozen for some reason.

Xiylna blinks at him. "I don't."

"nah, you do" and he points torward her chest where her heart would be. "its right there, you just dont know it. it isn't a physical thing, its an emotional thing. right? things hurt, thats because you have an emotional heart"

Zodiac appeared beside them.

"Want to be evil?"

Xiylna looked down. “Hmm. So you understand that things hurt? Because of you? And you make them hurt anyway? Because that’s not very nice.”

Xiylna looks at him. “I am not evil. No one is evil. There are bad people, but no evil people. Mother says.”

sleeper pauses. "yes, i understand that things hurt. a lot of people do, but they ignore the hurt so they can feel better. that never usually works well. and yes, i make people hurt, but i also help other people feel more safe. however, it hurts myself too. i just try to ignore that hurt because ive done it so much, and i dont feel as bad because im doing the thing over and over." he goes somber. "im sorry, xi. im not a great philosopher. only took one class for a credit. barely paid attention"

"That's an interesting philosophy. Does that mean there are no good people? That is, people directly opposite to evil."

“Mother says all people have some good. Even the mean ones who hurt other people.”

“That’s okay, Sleeper. But hurting people is bad.”
