(26)
"You're sniffling and tears are getting old Battosai." Tshuyu turns around.
"I... I don't know what to say." I wipe my face.
"You could try and stop crying like a child." Tshuyu says.
"There is nothing wrong with crying." I say.
"You're the legendary manslayer. How could you possibly have tears?" He asks.
"I guess you could never understand." I say.
"Excuse me?" He asks.
I push past him.
"What makes you think I don't understand?" He asks.
"Because you're not human." I say.
"Hmm..." He turns.
I keep walking.
"What's the next stop?" I ask.
"Starvation and Greed." He says.
"How are those things related?" I ask.
"Look to the small ditches and the pits." He points.
I see people, no, souls. I see many many souls. They were all chained and in small pits filled with some kind of tar. I see piles of food around them. It doesn't look so bad to the naked eye, but I needed a better look. I know they're crying out in pain/
"For many greedy is quite a sin, but to starve is a far worse punishment. So... why not combined the two?" He asks.
He leads me down the sharp stairs. It smells awful. Not like blood but rather rotting food. I see piles among piles of food, yet they can't eat it for some reason. I don't know why. I see them reach for it, but I realize the chains were preventing them from reaching anything. It drags their hands down. A truly frightening punishment for some. They look incredibly starving.
"That is sadistic indeed." I say.
"You are perceptive Battosai." He says.
"I have to be." I say.
"You can have everything, but you also can have nothing at the same time." He says.
"I know." I nod.
"I know you do." He hisses at me.
