I do. We both work in the Infirmary.

[weartearrust]

You talk about our planet much?

[coffinturk]

When I heard she became your warden, I spoke with her. Took her to the Enclosure to show her some things. Started with Midgar, before Meteor. Though after your time.

[weartearrust]

I wonder if she got it from you then. She seems hellbent on blaming everything that happens on Gaia on Shinra. Thinks she's seen it all before, won't consider anything that isn't what she's already decided on.

Really hung up on the idea that Shinra must have created the boys as tools for war.

Turns out they're still tools for war, just a different battlefield.

[coffinturk]

I never explicitly told her anything about Kadaj and Yazoo. Might be my fault she made that connection since I didn't confirm or deny it.

I was focused on giving her context about the world you grew up in.

[weartearrust]

Don't take it as me blaming you. I get the impression she's projecting her own world's issues onto ours, just trying to figure out where this laser focus came from.

[coffinturk]

No, though I acknowledge it might be part of the cause.

Another factor may be Shaw's condition that makes it hard for her to process or express certain social cues.

[ There's no reason not to mention this; she's spoken of it herself publicly. ]

It's hard to say. She's worked for an agency with tasks that could parallel some of what the Turks do for Shinra. Shaw might be using those similarities for her impression.

Want me to have a talk with her?

[weartearrust]

Nope. She's my warden to deal with. But if she harps on Shinra being the source of all mortal ills in your presence, feel free to curb it. I got confirmation this one she's wrong on, it's enough.

But I don't think she needs to know details about the boys' origins. She doesn't understand, willfully I suspect, that our planet's different when it comes to monsters.

[coffinturk]

Mm. Few of those from the 'Earth' worlds have the context about monsters as they exist on our world.

Not saying they can't learn. But without the mindset coming from being part of that world...

Well. I'll speak up if she brings it up. Good luck with everything else.

And if you have other questions, I'll try to answer them if I can.

[weartearrust]

That should do it for now. It's left a lot of other questions, I'm not going to lie. A lot of them. But those can wait for later. Thanks.
