Private Finished Don't Do Dopamine, Kids

That wasn't the reply he was expecting. He fell silent for several moments, trying to wrap his head around what Serena just said.

"So I should do what I want to do." The tone was vague on whether that was a question or a statement. "Which is be a servant. And, uh, mess with my hormones some more so I can be a better one to my boyfriend... I'm surprised you of all people are on my side with this one. Then again... a really nice guy was also on my side too. I'll have to reevaluate who I keep as my friends."

"You always seem to me like the kind of person to carve your own path as well, even if people see it as radical. But more importantly, is exactly that: It's your path, your choices, your world so to say. People can say what they may, suggest what they may, but in the end it is all up to what you want.", Serena held her chin pensively, one eye closed and the other focused his way, "Besides, none of us would have gained anything if I suggested you to betray your own choices. I wouldn't have learned what troubles you, you would still find yourself in a dilemma. Don't you think?"

He wasn't sure how he felt about what Serena was saying. He was happy, but that happiness came with frustration. It was worsened by him noticing how much he changed. "Tell me when my body changes," he stated brusquely as he returned his colors back to normal. The length of his hair (now laying on his shoulders) could be fixed later.

"I wouldn't have found myself in a dilemma, I would have been angry at you and learned there's another person on this island who'd rather see me suffer than be happy... I'm still in a dilemma. Two or three people being okay with my choices doesn't change how the island feels about it. It's not like I can leave this place either... I have a boyfriend and a life here. Magic on my Earth is dying and I wouldn't be able to be my real self. I don't know what other dimensions are like... or what space is like..."

With proper focus on him now, Serena watched Kon undo most changes, before non-verbally pointing that his hair was still long, but not dwelling on that too long. "Oh, that kind of dilemma... It is indeed worrying, even for me. There are too many different people, there should be more varied views, yet there are some people trying to set standards here and there.", and for a moment, a grim memory in regards to Citizen Against Evil flashed in her mind, "As for what lies out there... Hm..."

"It's hard to say for sure. Maybe in another dimension there's a different Kon, maybe not even having the same name, who lives a simpler life. Maybe in another dimension I'm a demon obsessed with life and ruling over a kingdom of my own making. Those are merely theories however, except I do dream some nights of what I just described."

Konpeitō gave Serena a confused look. "No, that's not what I meant. And... the idea of there being another me makes me uncomfortable." He frowned and looked down at the ground. "I meant I don't know how to get to other dimensions and establish myself there, if I could get my boyfriend to come with me in the first place. It'd be too much for the both of us, leaving everything behind to start anew."

He shook his head, realizing he was once again being pessimistic. Going against everything he was supposed to be. "Anyway... standards have to be made to have a consistent society, and the trade off is that those standards aren't good for everyone."

GrimRPer · Jul 19, 2020

"Oh, nevermind that, it's merely theory, not certainty. But if there's a way to go there... Maybe there is, some alien species or forgotten deity may know of how to transcend beyond time and space. It would however beg the question of whether or not it would be worth leaving all behind.", she surely had no idea if she would be willing to visit another dimension if she could.

Thinking about the standards, she silently confirmed with a nod, reminiscing some of her past. "That does happen, yes. I can confirm it does happen on most of Earth, places having their own rules and laws, some being quite absurd, others more logical, either guided by an authority or religion. And the presence of those standards also creates more unique traits in culture. Perhaps the standards in MC creates an unique culture for us as well, even if it may step on some toes."

Konpeitō laughed a little. "I lived most of my life on Earth, Serena. Granted, I was limited to my house in Japan, but I learned about other cultures different from mine. Manta Carlos definitely has its own unique culture, considering how often cultural classes are advocated to any newcomer.

"It's not all bad. This place is still worth staying for many reasons, even if a lot of people make me want to rip my hair out. There's also the dimensional god that runs the public portals on the island. I could visit the Hells or other public dimensions as a vacation until I find a place that suits me... I might do that in the future, actually..."

GrimRPer · Jul 19, 2020

"Japan, huh... There's a place I'm planning to visit once more one day. My only trip there was short, only went up Fujiyama as part of my pilgrimage, and moved on. And it so happened that the cherry blossoms were at full bloom a week after.", she made sure to hold a mental note of that.

But soon enough, the thought of a dimension god brought Serena to attain a slightly mischievous smirk, as soon as Kon mentioned the Hells: "Be sure to bring summer clothes and suntan lotion. Unless you plan on going too deep, then you'd need winter clothes too."

Keen · Jul 19, 2020

Serena got a sad smile from Konpeitō as she talked about what Japan was like. Even a visitor had more experience there than he did.

"I wouldn't need either of those. My body adapts. And if it couldn't? I wouldn't go to those Hells. My boyfriend likely knows his way around the better ones. He was raised on Manta Carlos but he's half demon."

GrimRPer · Jul 19, 2020

"Hahah, I jest. It's unlikely the governing entities in those would deliver punishment onto the living. Plus, what you say, that makes adapting your forte. Hm... Knowing that it's possible to visit Hells makes me wonder if I should plan touring myself through one to further learn about such place.", she gave a brief hum in thought at that idea. Although if Kon, someone who's pretty much an embodiment of happiness, planned to go there... Then why she, who is pretty much peacefulness given flesh, should fear going there?
