[10.20] Dim View of Humanity
If I’ve been slow in replying to messages/emails lately I apologize, life has been a little crazy lately. I’m in the middle of building a house and working very long days. Hopefully I’ll still be able to draw after this. Worry not, updates shall continue at twice a week for now.

10.20 Transcript
Kiro: I can’t believe you of all people are related to him.
Daisy: You might not believe me now, but he was a good kid once. Just imagine your average teenager getting the kind of power he has.
Kiro: Still, most people wouldn’t act on their worst desires..
Daisy: You think starving someone for two weeks is the worst punishment anyone could think of?
Kiro: You take a dim view of humanity.
Daisy: Death Course was a thing long before Darien’s time… It might sound crazy, but things were far worse at that camp in the past.
The camp’s origins and history are sounding awfully, awfully dark. I wonder if we’ll ever find out who started it, and why. It doesn’t sound very re-habby.
No worries, life happens to all of us. But building a house is pretty exciting! I hope it’s going well.
Darien’s done some other not so nice things other than starving Kiro in the beginning, and that was certainly her first impression of him. Those are hard to break, though not impossible. But I wonder if Darien is still mostly the same person that Daisy knew before. If they ever meet up again, I guess we’ll find out!
As for “a dim view of humanity” … have you ever *met* humanity?
The fact that Darien is still alive pretty much proves that Daisy is not a killer, because if any girl ever had any reason to kill anyone their younger brothers would lead the list.
Honestly, I can buy that things were worse at one point. But that doesn’t exactly make the current conditions anything resembling reasonable.
