Three travelers were walking through the woods. They only had a little food between them, and they knew the way was long and that there would be very little chance of finding food

...I could break three sticks.

That's not the point of the story.

[vanitynightmare]

No, I know. But...I simply thought I would say as much.

[tenshinoyobou]

When you can boast of so much else?

So she got a free meal and told them to break sticks to make up for being a freeloader? I do believe the lesson is to not feed old women that you find wandering forests.

[tenshinoyobou]

... Not... quite, your highness.

[justsopretty]

Oh?

Three sticks, when held together, are far more difficult to break than each stick as a singular unit.

[rattrash]

And there's way more of us than three! Right? So we'll get through it!

[Audio]

[tenshinoyobou]

Yes, exactly. Whatever it holds.

Some sticks here are stronger than others it would seem. Perhaps it would make sense to bundle at least one or two stronger sticks with the weaker ones at this point. [Thanatos muses aloud, since he is already fond enough of Angeal to encourage his input]

[tenshinoyobou]

Each stick has its own strength. The strength of a pile depends on the placement of each one.

[Audio]

[north_skie]

Heh, dunno how I feel about bein' a stick.

[Audio]

[tenshinoyobou]

Indeed.

A wise metaphor, and one all of us ought to hold to heart. Our unity here is not to be compromised.

[tenshinoyobou]

Exactly, sir.

Despite that being in our favour thus far, it's not something I wish to take for granted. To know that others view it the same way is incredibly reassuring, in a situation where we can do so little to preempt what will come.

I will certainly do all I can to aid the people here. Honour dictates that I must do my part.
