[It's a little fuzzy and off angle; you can see Yuca's face and the back of a blonde head.]

That book is just a picture book. Is that okay? The box on the other side should have a variety of books.

Huh?? I-it's fine!

It's okay. Rain can't read. [A young woman's voice, starts to fade as she walks away.] Isn't it weird? He's already 13. No matter how much we teach him, he still can't read or write.

[Yuca reaches into a pile behind him and pulls out another book It's a pornographic magazine.]

Yuca. Yuca, no.

[harbingersoul]

...hello, Kefka.

[sandinmyboots]

Hi, Yuca. Why are you giving him that?

[Kefka eyes the image of the pornographic magazine as if were apt to explode.]

[makewayforroze]

Why do you have that?

[didiscareyouyet]

{Raenef doesn't give a reply. He just...stares.]

[mightletyouknowme]

Eh? Aren't you a little young to be a pervert?

[glass_secret]

.....

Wait at least five more years until you start flipping through those kinds of books, kid.

[harbingersoul]

I have already seen the interior.

[harbingersoul]

Yes?

[harbingersoul]

I assume your society is rather conservative. However, your assumptions are overgeneralized.

[harbingersoul]

[and Yuca stares back, because this is video]

[harbingersoul]

It was given to me by one of the military personnel.

[harbingersoul]

I assumed it would be in his interest.

[You're making an awful big deal over nothing, Kefka.]

[sandinmyboots]

What if he's a person where those images bleach his eyes out and he runs screaming?

[why can't you be like normal children and give him a weapon]

[harbingersoul]

He wasn't.

[Does it count if he one day turns him into one instead?]

[bornfromdeath]

Hah! Nice choice. He wouldn't need to understand the text, after all, in a magazine like that.

[harbingersoul]

Thank you. I assumed it would be of the most interest to him.

[bornfromdeath]

I can't blame you. He is thirteen.

...Maybe people need to start making picture books for older people who can't read. Could be worth something.

[harbingersoul]

Perhaps there is a market for them. The percent of illiteracy will no doubt increase as the war continues.

[bornfromdeath]

War? How troubling that must be.

[harbingersoul]

Hm? Ah. There is no helping it.

[mightletyouknowme]

So you just decided to start younger than most guys?

[makewayforroze]

I think it would be best if you just put it away, for now.

[didiscareyouyet]

What...?
