To be blunt, in my case it's more of a relief to know that I had things like "friends" and "halfway normal human relationships" back then, given that everything else is so blatantly bizarre.
Haha. I can understand how that would, indeed, be a relief. There is some bizarreness to my memories. Talks of magic, for example. A war where spirits and mages fight, is another hot topic. So you're right in enjoying something normal to remember rather than just the odd.
To with the Holy Grail. No, not THE Holy Grail. It is that is directly magic in origin. And it has sentience. Those chosen by it are forced then into a fight to the death. But they do not fight alone. I had to sit for an hour listening to myself explain this, and I won't let you suffer the same. But in short, the Grail grants a wish. One omnipotent wish.
And this is why Kirei's complacency frightened me and why I could not think of reason to explain what I'm doing to others. There is nothing damning in not caring since it is another's actions that are evil. Yet I find the complacency evil. How can I explain such apathy? [ Yes, Kirei tormented a child to break her into tears, but used only words and fond words at that. He wished to kill his wife with his own hands, but he did not do it in the first place. All he has is evil thoughts and complacent apathy to someone who is far more proactive than himself -- or so he's come to understand the man. ]
So people are fighting over some sort of magical relic in order to create a miracle of their choosing. Are you a part of this...? Because that seems a little counterintuitive to the notion that you were a priest.
[...HE'S STILL TRYING TO WORK OUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE.]
I am the overseer of the war. An overseer is apparently part of the Holy Church and I was in the city itself as a priest.
You see, Albert Wesker, the war deals with mages fighting to the death, but magic has been decided to be kept secret. If the mages are not watched, not given any regulation, they would presumably destroy cities in their greed for a miracle wish. I say regulation, but honestly, if they keep the body count down and relatively secretive in who sees their battles, that is all that is really asked.
The Grail chooses who wins, but the winner is the last person standing with a Spirit. Oh, yes, there are Heroic Spirits summoned to fight with the mages. These Spirits are the only ones who can touch the Grail itself. They are manifestations of heroes in legend and proves the authenticity of the Grail by performing such a miracle in the first place, and just at the start of the war. That is part of the function of their summoning since mortal hands cannot touch it themselves.
For all this madness, the Holy Church doesn't care who wins just that there is not an incident.
I suppose, putting it that way, my complacency makes sense. I'm considered removed from the entire situation. Yet that doesn't change the fact I find my own thoughts in my memories sinful and repugnant.
