The 70th

[lavenderglasses]

So our dorms are dry again, if a bit tea-scented now, most of our belongings salvageable, the alcoholic gave in, and the detentions have ended.

...All's well that ends well then, I suppose.

A summoning charm worked, thank Merlin.

...That the idea of having possibly lost it upset me so much, it just means I'm failing, doesn't it?

I can't bring myself to just forget, and I can't just distract myself from it either. No matter what I do, it's still going to hurt regardless. I hate that pain, yet I can't do anything to prevent it. How is that fair? They're not even as careful as I am, yet they can still--

...Have I really just been going about this all the wrong way, then?

R-Right. Sorry...

Hopefully it'll at least be safer next time. I-I mean, somebody seriously could have drowned...

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

The flooding didn't happen that quickly. Really, anyone who wasn't smart enough to get out before it was deep enough to drown in deserves to drown~

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

That's a horrible thing to say!

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

Just because it's horrible doesn't stop it from being true~

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

It's not true, either!

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

Of course it is. You've never heard the phrase "too stupid to live"?

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

T-That's not true!

None of us can decide who deserves that!

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

Someone that idiotic can't be of much use to the world anyway, why not~?

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

But they have friends and family, and people who care about them!

They have just as much of a right to live as anybody else!

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

A waste of life is a waste of life regardless of who they associate with. An unemployed drunkard doesn't become more useful just by having a family.

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

Nobody here is that useless... And even if they couldn't get out quickly, maybe they're still useful in other things!

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

It isn't a matter of not being able to get out quickly, it's a matter of not having the sense to.

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

E-Even if someone doesn't have sense, they could still have other good things about them!

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

Only to a certain extent. But if try aren't even smart enough to keep themselves alive, then they're just a burden on anyone who might care about them.

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that's not true for all of them...

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

Believe what you'd like, then. It's hardly my problem~

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

I guess not, but believing something like that...

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

Who are you to tell me what I should believe?

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

Who are you to decide who deserves to live...?

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

Aah, no answering a question with another question~

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

Since when?

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

That's the rule, didn't you know~?

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

You just made that up!

[lavenderglasses.livejournal.com]

Of course not! Besides, if you answer with a question, then you're just rudely ignoring the other person's question to you in favor of asking your own, and that's just selfish and impolite~

[tenth-vongola.livejournal.com]

Saying that certain people don't have the right to live is impolite too!
