[Thank whatever god this guy seems to have a good head on the shoulders. There are so many unhinged weirdos in Kenos, sorry to Joshua.

D is glad to know Joshua is willing to find answers on his own.]

Each of them have things to give you that may sway you to their side if you let it. A Sunbeam, the shard of someone you care for most. I don't know how many come here believing the fullest in either side. Some care little for the politics; their conviction is for the outcome alone.

Others have fallen further in because they have Harmonized more. They've traded a little of their freedom of choice for the power a side allows you to wield. None of us are aware yet of any third option, though there may be one.

[He watches Joshua quietly for a long moment.]

You can survive without Harmonizing to either side, but I wouldn't recommend it.
