Kael , Reinhard and Elizabeth entered Nerokh Zyrr .
Kael asked "Reinhard why your sister is joining with us on this mission"
Elizabeth replied "Because I am his sister , I don't want to provide anymore reason"
Kael replies "Just make sure not to cause any problem with your 'family time' crap moments"
Reinhard , Kael and Elizabeth were walking through the forest trail when a small creature came into view. It looked soft and harmless, about the size of a cat, with wide, shiny eyes. Elizabeth noticed it and walked over, smiling.
Elizabeth leaned down and gently kissed the top of its head.
The moment her lips touched it, the creature froze — then suddenly burst into loud, painful sobs. It shook violently, making a sound that didn't even seem natural. People around stared. Some laughed awkwardly, confused.
Reinhard (surprised): "What the hell? Why's it crying like that? It was just a kiss!"
Kael didn't seem shocked. He knelt beside the creature, watching quietly as it cried.
Kael (calmly):
"To us, a kiss is something warm… caring. But to him? That touch might've meant something completely different. Maybe in his body, that kind of contact sets off stress chemicals, makes him feel pain or fear."
Reinhard (frowning):
"But that makes no sense. It didn't look scared before. It looked fine."
Kael (standing up, looking at Reinhard):
"You're judging him based on how you feel, not how he's built. Every creature is wired differently.
What gives us happiness, might give him pain. And what gives us pain, might give him joy.
It all depends on how their biology evolved — or in this case… how it was designed."
Reinhard looked confused.
Kael (continous):
"Let me put it simply. Imagine his mother just died — and you saw him crying like this. You'd feel sorry, right? But he's crying the same way now, over a kiss.
So why don't you feel sorry now? Just because you think it's a silly reason?"
Reinhard stayed quiet.
Kael (softly):
"He was made to feel things this way.
Some species feel joy by helping others. Some feel it by destroying.
But they're all just following the same emotions , only the way of achieving that emotion is different and species have no right over the way it's all decided by their individual biology"
Reinhard asks "But how is crying over a kiss helping him to survive" . Kael replies "It doesn't that's why this species won't survive" .
Leaves Reinhard in silence .
After a moment of silence
Reinhard asked :"But we're humans. At least we can be united ."
Kael replies : "Humans? And what exactly are humans?
We took a set of similar traits and called it a 'species.' But no two beings have ever been 100% the same.
From another perspective—give it a few million years of evolution, a few mutations here and there—and your offspring and mine could be classified as entirely different species. Even though we both classify as humans our offsprings could not be . We all different species originated from one parent , one species , one body called "LUCA" yet now we classify so many different species in this world .
Even now, look around. We call ourselves the same, but our minds, instincts, and emotions… they differ more than we admit.
Unity? Maybe that's just a comforting illusion."
