Ah, hello.

[The video opens to Kaede - pale and thin as ever - in a room that's recognizable as one of the inn rooms. He looks nervous, but to anyone who's seen him before that's... That's about how he always looks.

After a moment, he sighs.]

I've been wondering this for a while - sometimes there are requests to kill someone, but some people seem opposed to doing things like that, and I just... Don't understand why? Is it really so wrong to end someone's life if that's what you're told to do?

[What do you mean people have moral codes????]

I'm sure this is obvious to most people, but it's been... Bothering me. Is killing such a bad thing? Are there really people here who haven't done that before?

[...]

A-anyways, that's all I was wondering but, ah, you don't have to feel obligated to answer! I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Is that really all there is to it?

[It seems... Simple. Could something like talking really help him understand things? Could it really make him better? Could it actually change him?]

Does that really work?

[Did he pass the test,]

Fundamentally. As long as you put in the work by practicing any exercises I give you outside of our sessions, you should see some changes.

( he has faith in you, Kaede, you can do it! )

[...

After a moment, he nods.]

Okay. I think I can do that.

( look, Kaede, you unlocked a cute Maruki smile! )

Great! How about we start next week?

( oh, and before he forgets; ) Are there any snacks you like?
