Entering the Floor of History for the first time was a bit awe-inspiring. It was, after all, a whole new floor where there had been nothing.
Hearing the newly awaken Patron Librarian and Angela snap at each other, though, felt like stumbling into a bathtub full of ice. Roland considered intervening, but he suspected that both women would turn upon him if he tried to interrupt their argument. So he listened, taking notes, and waited.

At first no one listened to her.
Why would they? It wasn't like she could show them what she wanted to heal. And who would want to accept such a change in their worldview?
Turns out, some did.
Not many, but enough. Maybe she was convincing, or maybe they'd felt it too, that something was off, and she was just the one to put words on it. Whatever the case, she had her team. It wouldn't be easy, but they'd cure that disease of the mind.

Written for the #FanPrompt “shift”! Implied familial Sunday and Welt
Sunday didn’t know when it happened, but somewhere along the way, he’d had a shift in perspective.
It wasn’t long ago that he hadn’t been able to bear the thought of people suffering. Suffering was so loud—discordant noises in what should have been a harmonious world. Sunday had wished to wrap his arms around the world and protect its children from all forms of suffering.
Fulwish had been the ultimate test, really. She also wanted to erase suffering from the world. Her plan had spelled doom for the entire planet, but that wasn’t what affected Sunday the most.
He had been most disgusted by the idea that the world would no longer be allowed to feel pain, all because Fulwish had decided so.
It was odd to think about. *He* had been the one to free everyone from Shuhu’s influence—from that false sweet dream.
Welt’s hand landed on Sunday’s shoulder. “Are you doing alright?”
Sunday startled. “Mr. Yang.”
The entire Astral Express crew was currently gathered in the party car. Everyone was nursing some drink or another as part of a celebration, and Sunday had been sitting at the bar separate from everyone else.
Until now, that was.
Welt said, “You seemed lost in thought there. If you don’t want me to pry, that’s fine, but…” He paused. “I heard about what you did today. Separating all of the affected from Shuhu’s influence is no small feat.”
“Are you here to tell me you’re proud of me?”
Sunday felt as if it was Gopher Wood’s hand on his shoulder. “You make me proud with your good work,” Gopher said, and his hand squeezed hard onto Sunday’s shoulder before finally letting go.
Sunday’s shoulder involuntarily twitched.
“Oh, sorry about that,” Welt said. Then he gently retracted his hand from Sunday’s shoulder, the movement natural and inoffensive. “Of course I’m proud, but that’s not what I wanted to say. I just wanted to ask: are you okay?”
Sunday swallowed, and his throat felt tight. He wanted to correct the misunderstanding—Welt’s hand hadn’t bothered him—but this new question was much more important.
‘Are you okay?’
What a strange question to be asked. He didn’t know the answer to it.
Sunday thought for a moment, looking at his hands in his lap. “I don’t know.” He looked at Welt, then, because he deserved proper acknowledgement for his concern. “But thank you for checking on me.”
If Welt had asked him the same question back in Penacony, Sunday might have answered very differently.
‘There’s no need to worry about me,’ he would say. An answer equal parts pacifying and dismissive. Then, he would push the conversation to whatever he wanted to talk about.
It was a relief to see how easily genuineness came to him after years of deception.
(1/2)
Dante's first impression of Vergilius had not exactly been positive. It would have been hard, with how fast Vergilius had resorted to threats to get Dante to act.
It was fascinating that after months of sharing a bus, Dante was now almost amused at how fast the atmosphere could shift if Vergilius stared just a bit too long in the Sinners' direction. They probably should be more concerned, but they appreciated the help. Most of the time.

"Roland?" Malkuth asked. "Is it just me or do the regular denizens of the City not pay any attention to us?"
"Why would they?" Roland countered, puzzled and not bothering to hide it.
"Well, the fall of a Wing, especially so sudden, should be enough to attract attention, so a mysterious building appearing where the Wing fell..."
"Normal folks don't care about Wings of other Districts. Even the White Nights and Dark Days are old news by now."

The Sephirot's mechanical bodies allow them to keep functioning even when the conditions in the facility would have driven biological bodies past the boundaries of total exhaustion. They can just keep going, and any faulty part can be replaced.
And yet, these are just vehicles for their minds (their *brains*). Because non sentient robots wouldn't *feel*, wouldn't suffer, and thus wouldn't change, wouldn't grow.
Pain is the point.
