Partially, and that the Wings have deemed my District suitable as prey.
[ This is probably the closest his voice has gotten to having any real bite in it. ]
But yes, at least it has been for quite some time. The invention of Singularities changed the world in many ways. Ah, they're technology that's capable of producing feats that aren't ordinarily within the realms of possibility. Instant regeneration, "teleportation", time manipulation, and so on.
Those rules sound awfully more arbitrary than fair.
[ He says, wondering if Sonya will fill in the blanks to back up the statement, or offer another source for this madness. ]
Singularities aren't unusual to me, but I've witnessed them capable of doing exactly the same upon human history. So it's interesting to hear of them in different worlds.
Do you think of them as hardly beneficial, then? Due to these side effects.
They're not arbitrary, but self serving. The Head and therefore the Wings, do what's in its best interest, namely, profit.
[ Human history, huh? Something else to file away for later. ]
I'm an optimist, but that doesn't mean I'm not a realist. Hands need to be bloodied in the name of change, some need to perish to invigorate the masses. It's not the sacrifice I find fault with, but the way it's unevenly applied.
I wish for a world in which everyone is equal, but to bring that to fruition, I need to dismantle the current one first.
I see, I see. That too is within human nature; hardly a glorious aspect, of course.
[ An optimist and a realist combined, but not cynical. Interesting. ]
Heroes oftentimes need to shed the blood of many to make their dreams a reality. It's only a mild consequence, after all.
[ Such words are coldly uttered, but Merlin has assisted in leveraging a ruler to the throne before. Elimination of enemies are always necessary, even in cold blood. ]
[ He smiles easily rather than acknowledge the obvious. Red stains white terribly, but if you're careful, it's nothing careful planning and a good scrubbing can't fix. ]
I'm fortunate to have many comrades. A resistance like ours is one that will need every capable pair of hands to succeed. Why do you ask?
Simple curiosity, Sonya! You can't have a movement without supporters, of course. Not that I had doubts you didn't make those kind of preparations, but this is an easier way to find out.
[ You know, instead of sneaking into his dreams. ]
Ah, well...my allies assist in ensuring that humanity doesn't come to an end. So, there's that!
[ They're definitely not Merlin's supporters. Not even really his friends. The closest one to him he mostly calls 'Master', so that's not really a friendship either.
Funny how that works. ]
As you can imagine, people in Chaldea are all aligned on the matter. The only ones who aren't for it are feral beasts who are trying to wipe out all humans because they think they're better than humans due to delusions, you know?
[ Merlin says this with a smile, but something about his words seem...strangely vindicative.
...
Solomon placed far too much trust in allowing his foolish creatures to run around. Maddening, about the idea of anyone taking pity on them, given the result. One that means he would never see someone important to him again. Even if the struggle was for humans to resolve in the end, Merlin thinks he might hate those things for it. Maybe, he should've did a bit more, even for it means it'd be for selfish reasons.
His mood is growing a little sour, though, so he thinks it's time for him to retreat. But, he is thankful to hear the other's opinion on the matter as well. ]
I'm happy we think the same. Though, that being said, I should head back, lest I make one of my room mates worry about me!
It was nice talking to you~
[ A small wave as he heads off with a little smile. ]

[ He certainly hears the bite enter into Sonya's tone, and well then! That's interesting...
...
Singularities, huh. ]
Ah, Singularities also introduced these monsters, then? Is the implication I'm getting here! Whether created them or somehow let them in...

[ A slight incline of his head. ]
Yes, you can imagine such power comes with side effects, meant or not.

Beasts will always be beasts, but there will always be beast tamers to put them in their place.
fgo spoilers for anyone reading later on, i guess...
