twenty-third

[ Dictated through the journals. ]

I feel like something strange happened a while ago...but I'm not really sure what it was. I remember being able to see, though. 

It's kind of weird, isn't it?  Maybe the castle did something again.  But whatever it was, I'm glad to be back.

Weiss? [Interesting name]

You are right in that it is good. But the ends will always be separate from the means, and the process of learning may not always be good.

[siebter]

Yeah! He's my friend from home.

...I don't think he said anything about learning being bad. If you read a lot, or if people read to you, it's fine, right?

[azuredemonic]

I see. [Hm. He seemed completely lost last time. What a curious event.]

Hm. There you go again. Black and white.

Have you ever heard the line "what is learned cannot be unlearned"?

[siebter]

I don't think I heard it...

[azuredemonic]

Then make note of it. Because aside from the unlikeliest of circumstances, the phrase stands true.

[siebter]

Okay...I'll remember it.

[azuredemonic]

That is knowledge you will do well to keep close at hand.

[siebter]

And I can't unlearn it either, right?

[azuredemonic]

Correct. [And yes, he can't help but smirk a little at that.]

[siebter]

Hehe, see, I'm learning.

[azuredemonic]

[Damn it kid, you're gonna endear yourself to him] So it would seem. And perhaps, you are wiser for it when you seek to learn more.

[siebter]

[ How dare he do that... ]

I think I get what you mean, a little bit... so if I get wiser, then I can learn more?

[azuredemonic]

[Yeah, that's not cool bro]

Hmm. Rather, the wiser you are, the more you will take away from what you learn. For better and worse.

[siebter]

Oh! So when I do that, I can learn better. I bet Weiss really is wise, too, since he knows a lot.

[azuredemonic]

Sure, let's go with that. Perhaps he can relate to you what the weight of wisdom is then.

[siebter]

I'll ask him!

[azuredemonic]

I would expect as much.

[siebter]

It's a lot of work to learn a lot, isn't it...

[azuredemonic]

More than you know.

[siebter]

Hehe, I guess it's something I'll learn about later.

[azuredemonic]

Yes. It likely shall be.

[siebter]

I have a lot of time for it, so that's good too.

[azuredemonic]

Have you been here long?

[siebter]

I think it's been...a year.

[azuredemonic]

Hm. I suppose it can only seem like you have time to spare after so much has past.
