A/N: I tried a very, very strange way of writing this. No, I don't know why I did, and it probably failed miserably, but I can't bring myself to change it. Hrm, no placement of time at all, as usual. I'll let you come to your own conclusions on this.

There is always something beautiful in everyone (she once said) and that was what people had to look for.
No matter how different they were, and even if they ended up disliking each other, no one was truly evil inside; there was always a single strand of hope within, and that was what they had find, or risk judgment that could hurt others.
But then (he had asked) what happens when others don't give you a chance? What if they instantly assume that what you do is evil?
It's not evil, though, is it?
(Her innocent question forced him to pause and think it over. It took a moment, before he nodded, completely certain that his actions weren't wrong, even if the greenhorn goddess and Kujyou thought otherwise.)
(As she smiled at him, she continued on her little spiel…) The thing is, no one ever sees on the same level, or thinks on the same wavelength. We all have to come to terms that we're all very different, and that's why life is great.
Yet there's also diseases that kill people, and taboo subjects no one wants to touch. As humans, we're too ignorant to understand it like that.
Maybe. Maybe, but it's always difficult to know yourself. There's always something beyond ourselves; we have to find and acknowledge it, and unleash the raw talent we didn't even know we possessed.
What if it becomes a talent that could possibly hurt others? What then?
(She frowned.)
But you wouldn't hurt anyone intentionally, Karasuma-senpai. (She paused.) Would you?
I… don't know. But I doubt it.
Then it's alright.
