He just doesn't understand. How utterly frustrating.

Such an understatement could not possibly convey the vexation of my brother's foolishness, yet I try to describe it nonetheless. If only I could make him see them for what they really are: worthless and inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Why can't he understand that its worthless trying to change the violent natures of these creatures, these "human beings," whose actions are base and instinctual in the extreme? His vision is clouded; it was obscured in our childhood, and he simply never learned to see things as they are. Pointless idealism, what has it ever done for the world? What did it ever do for humanity? It couldn't save Rem, it couldn't save the rest of the crew, it utterly destroyed Earth. Idealism was part of the great undoing of that lesser species, and from a high vantage I can understand that and not make the same mistakes. He doesn't understand that we're not like humans, their flaws and their follies don't need to be ours. We are plants, but we can make our own decisions and choose not to be humanity's pawns or servants any longer. We can rise above all that. We can live our lives free of the tainted influence of a species marked for extinction (And not merely by me. The sum and breadth of human existence has been one step after the other toward oblivion, from their wars and their weapons and their inability to see consequences until the point of no return had been surpassed). We, he and I, two brothers together, no longer alone. He seeks their companionship because he does not have his brother. I lock myself away in this ivory tower because I do not have Vash at my side. Why can't he understand that all I really want is for us to be together again as we were in childhood, but this time without humanity around to ruin that perfection? It was humanity that tore us apart, their violence and their flawed logic and their base fear of anything that could not fit a narrow, lesser mindframe. Without humanity, we can simply be as we were meant to be.

I don't want to be apart from him any longer. I just want to show him what this world could be like. I want him to understand and come back to me.

I only want Eden.
