(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?

no worries i've been Bad at tags this month anyway
Her reaction is... weirdly relieving. Asch sigh slightly, and then shakes his head slightly.]
Don't worry about me - I don't have any intention of partnering with a driver. I wouldn't have partnered with Jade at all if he didn't have a great need for it, but that's not super important at the moment. Suffice it to say, about three years ago, a bunch of kids walked up to God and yelled at him until they were able to change the way blades work, and we don't have a physical need for resonance anymore.
[Psychological needs... Vary by the blade, which is why he's here with Jade, instead of flying completely solo.]
But - I think you underestimate how awful some drivers could get.
[There's a darkness to his voice that speaks to experience.]
The worst of them - they used the forgetting to their advantage. Blades are hardier than humans in the long run, but we die to a knife in the back the same as a human. There are blades whose drivers killed them specifically to reset their memories.
[The layers of remove - forcing the description of the experience to arm's length - is probably more telling than anything he might actually say.]
And you're right that we didn't get any voice in it - hell, dormant core crystals were traded like commodities, not even just on the black market, either, at least in my time.
