darkness has its teachings

Aurelia

and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be

"It's not being on the scene, Seren. I'm aware things are not that simple," she almost laughs at it, but not out of joy. "Now that I have her name, I have very little doubt. I said nothing about fairness," Hotaru had tried to kill her, after all, though Aurelia thinks Seren doesn't realize that, "because of what I know now, whether she did this is less of a question and now it's if she worked alone or not. We can't be sure of that. If Maeve had something to do with it, potentially. But I will hear her side of the story if she wants to tell it peacefully, because you can be damn sure I wanna know the reason for this." Seren had quite the imagination of a world ruled by justice and mercy and fairness. The conclusions she jumped to and the requests she made, they're unrealistic and Aurelia has no intention of feeding them.

Aurelia has to go, however. She can feel the tension rising in herself, urging her to move on now. "I have to go, Seren. I hope you understand, but I'm still not done with what I need to do. I have to go and speak with Maeve, get her side of things. Thank you again."
