Book 21: Chapter 1 (3)
“(They’re people too, of course, and I realized that a little late.)”
Milt, who told him about what had happened since she came here, responded to Shin.
“(Did you have a story that made you think that?)”
“(It’s like they made me change my perception. I didn’t have any special story or anything like that. It’s just that Sety was thinking about a lot of things. When you see her in her everyday life, knowing what she is doing, you can see her in a different light.)”
“(What do you mean by that?)”
Did something happen? Shin thought about it, but he couldn’t think of anything.
“(Look, you said that you set up Sety as a younger sister character, right? For her part, it seems like there are times when she acts subconsciously, and times when she acts consciously. She seemed troubled at first, but now she doesn’t worry about which one is the real her, she accepts that they are both as her true self. She has given a clear answer to her own existence. To me, that was a little dazzling.)”
“(I didn’t know you thought that way.)”
Shin wondered if Schnee and the others were troubled in the same way as Milt’s story.
