(OOC: Threads arising from this question may contain some unpleasant aspects of Eva's world re: mewtwo/s, including how they were created and how they're seen. Eva'll take any actual talk of it off the ICP.)
A question, if you will. [Eva is nowhere near as calm as she tries to sound, and it becomes clearer as she speaks. She's also recording all of this on Roro for later playback.]
Say... Say you know someone. You call them a good person, someone who always helps and tries to do the right thing. Yet, they've also protected a creature... no, a person your society and culture deems a kill-on-sight threat, for very good reasons. It's not the right thing to do by society, and it means... means they'll be branded a Traitor to be executed if anyone ever finds out. [A breath -you wouldn't be wrong if you get the feeling this is personal for her, because, it is. ] But they feel it's the right thing to do because the person is a person and worse yet, the equivalent of a child. So they do. They protect the person, even knowing they've signed their death warrant.
What... What you do if you found out? Would... would you condemn them? Or would you... would you agree with them?
Ah... and um. For those that saw that illusion, the one with the kids -my sisters-, can... Can I talk to you? Privately?

[Eva nods as she enters, a small 'pardon the intrusion' muttered under her breath. It's only polite after all.
And she finds, as she takes a seat, that she has no idea where to start or even how to, more terrifyingly, explain what Giovanni meant without earning an instant kill from someone she's gathered is a very Good and Just person.
(she's distantly aware she's started to catastrophize, but... well, It's just shock. That's all it is. Not PTSD or societal and cultural expectations catching up.
Just shock.)]

[Nova, who is currently perched on the stand Willow got her from the Winter Faire, now hops over to Eva once she sits, giving a concerned soft trill. (and taking any chance to get scratches, but in a mutually beneficial way).
Meanwhile, Willow heaves a sigh. The sight she saw angered her and she cares little about if Eva's a traitor or not. Eva is a Good Person, that's all that matters to her.]
About that illusion. I want you to know two things: first, you are certainly no traitor to us here. Second, I'm here to listen to whatever you need.

That's good?... I'm... I would be to anyone from Arkea. [Save one person, but that is not her secret to tell.]
What I did... what I continue to do is... there are reasons sapient pokemon are kill-on-sight and those that protect them are Traitors. I don't agree with it at all, yet I know the damage they can easily do. It's... hard. To come from a culture and society where that's the norm and then...
no subject
If... if it is alright with you, would you tell me why such a thing is a horrible crime? There are such creatures where I come from that are not treated as such, in fact they have their own societies and cultures. We call them Beastmen, capable of thought and emotion, as well as speech.

[Yet her face says it's happened before; that she's seen the aftermath of said storms.] That it doesn't attract a god or ten and make everything worse and when you try and drive them off, you end up with death and blood as good people die to protect a town.
You hide inside because the winter was so bad it drove in monsters that typically avoid human settlement, but also brought predatory ice-types and yuki-onna right into towns, never mind your town has to deal with idiots who lose control of their monsters for some many reasons it's not funny, only sad and tragic. You have to deal with the aftermath- [Eva cuts herself off with a shuddering breath.]
Now put all that with human intelligence- Gods. She's a person, yes. Yet, and I do mean yet, she has all the instincts of a monster and I know what side of her would win out if, say, something spooked her, or attacked her or the like-
[Eva looks her dead in the eyes now.] It's not the human side.
Is it any wonder the world hates and fears them so much?
