>Sometimes...having faith leads us astray. We pray, and we listen, but we hear nothing..."Ohohoho, Beaver not falling for this one! You try to colonize her with new religion. That oldest trick in the smoke signal."
>N-no, no! Just...listen.>When we hear nothing from our gods, I consider it to be a test. To give into despair and forsake your faith.>In the end, they're just road bumps. Sometimes they're a mild annoyance, other times...it's as though they'll tear your car to shreds.>This, too, shall pass.Beaver nods. "So...Shogun think Beaver should still be nice?"
>Precisely!"Okay. Beaver still mad at Angels, though."
>As am I. No need for forgiveness there. That's why I plan on fighting them.>You, however, should be resting."You think you can beat capitalist paleface and her friends? You think Nika see light and come back to dojo? Or Amy?"
>...>As much as I'd like to promise that, I can only take small steps. Fighting them is one. Cleaning up the messes they leave and protecting other people from them is another.>Getting any of them to listen to me...that's a big step.>But maybe they'll listen once they see how worthless Priscilla Divine's help really is.

The WWA simply requires that I shine even brighter."Beaver believe in you."
>Thank you.>Now then, let's get you somewhere more comfortable...(2/2)
