[Late at night, Ren is looking up at the starry sky. It is peaceful and quiet, with wind gently blowing, a fresh breeze on everyone's faces.]
I was a fool, wasn't I?
If you close your heart, if you stay distant from others - then they can't really hurt you. And if you are not sure about someone's intentions, that is the best way to avoid disappointment and harm.
And yet...
And yet I will continue being a fool.
I am aware of horrible things human beings are capable of. I even experienced it first hand - this doesn't change anything. Because, every day, I am surrounded by proof of wonderful things people are capable of, too. People of Earth, and of other planets.
[Ren notices the shining object in the distance. It was not there just a few days' ago. Cybertron.]
Great kindness, incredible cruelty and everything in between. That's what it means to be human, doesn't it? Sorry for waxing so philosophically.

Hello!
[Ren approaches people they know with a glint in their eye. It might be time to run.]
So many people were concerned about recent happenings, I'd like to help them get at least some relief. And I know how.
Would you like to attend a religious ceremony with me?

[Ren listened to Eva patiently, with an unnervingly unchanging expresion. Only once she is done, does their eyebrows raise.]
Yes, Eva. I understand why you feel this way.
You wanted to use your own skills to protect others who are close to you. To protect me - and you feel like you have failed.
Eva.
You are a better person than you think you are.

Let's just pretend there's art of eva's PB yelling, anywhere
[For a moment, Eva's expression isn't angry. The earlier frustration and turmoil sort of melts away...]
Why do you always have to be so god-damn forgiving!
[It comes back, and she marches off.]

[Ren watches passively as Eva storms away. They're left behind, all alone.]
Why, a good question indeed.
