I'm assuming that others also received a word, mine is 'beta!' I'm still uncertain what that really means, but maybe we should do a tally and go from there!

Anyway, I do have two other questions that I wish to ask! So, I'm going to ask!

Question 1: Has anyone heard of the name 'Kiyotaka Ishida?' I assure you that is not my name, I'm Kiyotaka Ishimaru, but I've been getting strange messages about him! From what I've gathered, he's a college student with blonde white hair.

Question 2: How would you define a 'moral compass?' Is it really possible to be the um, best in that? An ultimate moral compass??

[steadycourse]

Well, it's not an ability at all!

It just says more about his character than anything else... but that's how he helped people, I think!

[frostythehitman]

how does putting people in time out for whatever you think is "right" help anyone
and why do you even want to help people in the first place

[steadycourse]

If I put them in time out, it was probably for a good reason, right? Maybe it was to stop them from doing something bad or dangerous!

How is that a question? Why wouldn't you want to help someone?

[frostythehitman]

there's plenty of reasons
you don't owe anyone anything
they may not want or need your "help"
maybe what you think is helping is actually just making things worse

who are you to be the authority on what "something bad or dangerous" even is?
your "past self" just sounds like a tyrant

[steadycourse]

Not owing anyone anything is no excuse.
I think it's obvious when they need or want help.
So just because things might become worse, you don't try at all? Nothing would improve at that rate!

What?! I'm certain he meant well! He's not a tyrant or bad person...

[frostythehitman]

EVERYONE means well, dumbass
no one thinks of themselves as a bad person
that doesn't mean they aren't one

[steadycourse]

He's not a bad person!!

He wouldn't kill anyone!! He couldn't have...

[frostythehitman]

killing someone doesn't automatically make you bad
and there's plenty of other things that could

[steadycourse]

Yes it does! Especially for him! He'd just be killing another student, a classmate!

That's not acceptable in any circumstance!

[frostythehitman]

okay whatever fine
let's pretend killing isn't acceptable ever
it still doesn't mean it's the ONLY thing that could make you a bad person
depending on how you look at it and the circumstances, literally anything could make you a bad person
but hey if you want to be that "moral compass" and be the final arbiter of what's right and what's wrong be my guest
but plenty of people are going to disagree with you
and they're all going to have valid points

[steadycourse]

I just want to do what's right.

If they have valid points, then I'll listen to them! That's part of being a moral compass, listening to the concerns of others! I'm certain about that part!

[frostythehitman]

and why do you get to be the one who makes the final decision on if it's "good" or "bad"
and no, having some made up title isn't an answer

[steadycourse]

[......]

I... don't know. I guess I don't have a reason to be that person then.

[frostythehitman]

there we go, now you get it
you're better off finding something else to be an expert at

[steadycourse]

I don't want to give up though.

I don't want to be the final say of what's right or wrong, but this is still important to me.

[frostythehitman]

why

[steadycourse]

For months, I wanted to know my title.

And now I know, I'm not just going to abandon it because it seems vague or difficult.

It may seem fake to you, but it's not to me.

[frostythehitman]

fine
i'm not here to tell you what you can or can't do
just letting you know that it's not nearly as innocent as it sounds
but if you still wanna go down that path then by all means

[steadycourse]

I do.

And if I truly want to live up to that title, I won't fall astray!
