Happy New NepNep Year! OwO

"Vengeance is a pure emotion, no matter what those self-righteous priests say. If someone wrongs you, and you just turn the other cheek, that hatred sits in the bottom of your stomach like an infection. Soon, it begins to rot and stink, and then gangrene sets in. Now, if you put a knife in the back of the source of your hatred, that's like cleaning the wound."

Tears brim in the eyes of the tree. "I need 10 gems." it whispers. (sniff) "Well, come back when you can pay me."
