Oh, no, we're not doing this. Did you know I had people think I was the "Team Mom" of the Pantheon just because I was the oldest? Bullshit.

I never thought a title like that would be so bad...

[ Because as the Empress? She's the Mom. Makoto and Haru are Team Mom together. ]

You don't perceive it as an honor?

text

[queenofseers]

No, I perceive it as people who don't actually know shit about my life making assumptions about it. It's not who I am.

I mean- have you had to deal with the media here? I try to stay out of it.

[ A delayed response. ]

I have been fortunate enough not to deal with the media here as I have had to back home.
I understand better now, however. Your life is your own; not to be spectated on by strangers.

Fuck, I forgot you had to go through that gauntlet too. Sorry.

Honestly, if you don’t mind me asking- what sort of shit did you get? Were people thinking you were just some stuck-up rich kid?

text

[girlybruiser]

That was an assumption, yes.
But also that I was simply subservient to my father and would do his bidding.
The "good and obedient" daughter, I suppose.

You’re never yourself, right? You’re always what they want you to be. Whatever they can sell papers and get clicks with...

Maybe next time I get thrown into another world I won’t have to be famous. I can dream.

Do you find you do not get to be who you want to be here?

text

[queenofseers]

It's not that, I think. I know who I am. But I'd love to have absolutely zero people wondering why the hell I'm buying vegetables at the grocery store or what the fuck ever.

What, do you ever feel that way?

text

[girlybruiser]

No, not at all. At least not anymore.
I can even be who I want back home without consequence.
I miss my father all the time, but... I am happy that I was able to break free before it was too late.

You're really lucky, Haru. But I'm sure you know that.
