In a nutshell. To some extent, what he did was a help in being able to figure out what the real problem there was, but at the same time . . . I still can't quite find it to forgive him.

[crestsmile]

I don't blame you for that.

[powerisyours]

It isn't right of me.

[crestsmile]

The rules are there for a reason, Xiao Wu.

[powerisyours]

I know. I set them myself. But what good are they if the one person who's supposed to follow them to the letter won't?

[crestsmile]

You have your duty, that's all.

[powerisyours]

I know. It's just . . . It makes me wonder who I really can trust. If I should just keep doing everything on my own.

[crestsmile]

That's something you'll have to find out on your own.

[powerisyours]

I know. I shouldn't be saying these things. I shouldn't be acting so weak. You raised me better than that.

[crestsmile]

I raised you to be you, Xiao Wu.

[powerisyours]

You raised me to be someone the Iron Dimension could count on.

[crestsmile]

That too.

[powerisyours]

It doesn't matter who I am, so long as I can do that.

[crestsmile]

Doesn't it?

[powerisyours]

It doesn't.

[crestsmile]

I don't think so.

[powerisyours]

What do you mean?

[crestsmile]

You can be you too.

[powerisyours]

That is me.

[crestsmile]

Is it really?

[powerisyours]

Who am I, then?

[crestsmile]

That's something you decide.

[powerisyours]

Master doesn't seem to agree that I am who I say I am.

[crestsmile]

You're putting yourself into a box without decorating it.

[powerisyours]

I don't think I understand. I speak and act as I should. I perform my duties to the best of my abilities. Even when it's lonely, or frustrating, or I think it's too much, I don't complain and do as I am supposed to do. That's what it is to be me.
