Rumination

I remember . . .

I remember almost everything.   I was not created.  I was not coerced.  I agreed to carry the mantle of the Grim Angel of my own choice.  I agreed to relinquish my emotions of my own will.

It is better this way.  Free will, after all, is the gift the gods have bestowed upon us.

I do not regret my choice

Aha, so you have been here this whole time. You were just younger.

[thelostseraph]

That is correct. I have heard it happened to many -- continues to happen to many on this island.

[worstnunevar]

But you remembered stuff, right?

[thelostseraph]

Yes. Much about my past.

[angel_crow]

You gave up your emotions?

So that's why you were so different then!

[thelostseraph]

I was a very different person . . .

However, you were, if I recall, very much the same.

[angel_crow]

You were even nicer than you are now! Playing tag was lots of fun!

Heheheh... Really?

[thelostseraph]

That game, I believe, was one of the last times I could claim to have had 'fun' . . . Thank you.

And yes. Amusingly so.

That got to be the least convincing self-denial I've ever heard.

[thelostseraph]

It's character development.
