Matthew is Light, and Gilbert is Dark. It's always been that way. One is loved and coveted, the other shunned and despised.
This is the story for another time.
Many mortals believe that Light and Dark are sworn enemies, constantly in an evenly matched battle for power. Out of these people, a vast majority think that the world would be a better place if Light won the ongoing war.
These people are wrong on both accounts.
Matthew does not hate Gilbert, just as Gilbert does not hate Matthew. In fact, one might even call the two friends. Their existences are so intimately entwined that sometimes it is hard to tell the two apart, and yet they still remain separate entities.
As for the world being better off without Dark, let's put it this way: what do you think the world bases "goodness" off of? It's not something that can be defined, I'll give you that much. Without Dark to be compared to Light and vice versa, how can we truly know which is which? How can we sort through the shades of grey that mingle between the two? If, in this metaphor, Light is the absence of Dark and Dark the absence of Light, how can one possibly go on without the other?
The answer is we can't. We can't, they can't, and they don't want to.
A/N: Continuation of Light and Dark. Philosophical chapter is philosophical.
The chapter title made you think this was going to be porn. Admit it. You were thinking it. I've never even read that book, man.
I can't guarantee when the next chapter will be out. I'm still writing it. All I can say is that it's pretty long. It could be up as soon as tonight or as late as next week, so please be patient with me.
