All right, since I can't seem to resist...

Truth or Dare?

He is a good man, and had I not met him, things would have been quite difficult for me.

Truth? Hmn. I feel I may be intruding too much with this question, but it is something I've wondered. You're such a kind and lovely person, Rain; why do you often have such a low opinion of yourself?

If I'm offending you, please, don't feel compelled to answer me. I could ask something else if you prefer.

No, it's okay, I...

I think it's...

Well, my dad always told me I was stupid and ugly and bad because of what I could do. And he always said it was my fault my mother died. And being a street kid and always dirty and smelly and banged up didn't make people like me. Whatever school I'd end up going to for a few days or weeks - everyone would make fun of me or shove me around.

Or they'd get freaked out and call me a witch or evil if I knew what they were thinking or what was going to happen.

..I see. I'm sorry to hear it, Rain. For whatever it may be worth, I think those people did you an injustice. Although I believe all people are inherently good, only a fool would think that we bios don't have the capacity to be startlingly cruel.

You should not let their words affect you so... though I know it can be difficult to shake an image of oneself that one has held for many years.

I... yeah. It's... with my head being all confused sometimes, I sort of have to depend on things I know are true.

And that was always one of the oldest and biggest. It's scary to let go of it. Even though in some ways it makes me feel good that people think it's not true.
