Hey, crew.  We've all had a real fucking night an' I'm sorry to add more, but this might be useful.  I think I just a clue from like, some kinda supernatural dream-traveling hint-dispenser?  Called themselves Cain and Abel, gave me a choice between a secret and a mystery, I picked mystery 'cause it meant I could tell you guys about it.

Man, I hope this sounds familiar to someone.

It was Cain I talked to, he told me a story about two brothers who uh - fuckin' hell - one killed the other because they were both in love with some invisible chick named Bell but she hadn't picked him.  Their parents thought the one brother just flipped out and did murder for some fuckin' reason, because they thought Belle was fictional?  Someone who knows what they're doing, start asking me some questions because I don't know how this is supposed to be relevant, but the dude said it was and he was for real.  I got some experience an' I know when the dream I'm having didn't come outta my own head.

I wish I had more to say about that. This Cain and Abel myth everyone's speaking of doesn't exist in Zemuria.

Well, what d'you think the story means just as a story, then?

[zerofield]

I guess my first impression is that their parents are probably woefully sheltered, but that's naturally biased by the fact that I've seen plenty of weird things on par with an invisible lady.

I mean like, if someone told you that story as like a parable you were supposed to learn from, what would you think the lesson was?

[zerofield]

Your own petty outbursts look incredibly unjustified to everyone else, mainly? The fact that the parents don't think Bell exists seems important.

[ It also keeps making her picture "girl dudes will murder over" as Mariabell Crois, which is...apt and awful. ]
