[Those of you who have spoken to Kirei in person before may have noted that he sounds very flat and monotone.

Well.

He doesn't now.]

If a superior made a mistake, would it be your duty to correct them? Or would you let them flounder in their own errors? I suppose it would depend on how severe the error is, if nothing else. Some mistakes are just small missteps in judgment, after all. It's almost impossible to know everything all at once.

But there are some mistakes that can only be made once. Ones so large that they can't be taken back. You become stuck upon a path, winding outward from the consequences of your actions. Inevitably, those consequences must come back to us.

If the person above you made a mistake of that magnitude...

Well.

Would you be one of those consequences?

[Casually, in the background:]

It appears that Kotomine Kirei is rather long-winded, today.

I...it is a duty for a subordinate to listen to their superior, is it not?

[She does not know how to answer this question. It is also a surprise to hear such inflection in Father Kotomine's voice.]

[voice again]

[structuraldefect]

Naturally. But what if the superior was wrong? Would you go along with their lesson regardless? I suppose the real question is...

Is it more important to be dutiful or to be honest?

Re: [voice again]

[answerer_sword]

I suppose...barring the superior's errors possibly resulting in widespread destruction, then duty is always more important.

[fortheworld]

Correct them, obviously. If they are in a position of power they must be held to higher standards.

Am I to take it you have done something to your superior, Mr Kotomine?

[structuraldefect]

Really? How interesting. But, would it not be a greater duty to assist your superior, rather than let them continue to be wrong?

[structuraldefect]

I can't help but agree.

I've merely pointed out his mistakes. I'm not certain he took well to it.

[If you have really good hearing, you might be able to hear Gilgamesh trying not to laugh in the background.]

[answerer_sword]

I am not qualified to advise my superior on many matters. And sometimes it is not so much actually being wrong as it is a simple difference of opinion.

[fortheworld]

I imagine not, if you felt doing so worthy of a Community announcement.

[if you're trying to be subtle, don't discuss 'mistakes of magnitude' and then call yourself a consequence. And sound so excited about it.]

[voice]

[yumadbro]

I guess-...I don't really know.

[Protag senses are going off.]

Are you okay?

[structuraldefect]

People make announcements of their routines all the time.

[fortheworld]

One question. Was this superior of yours present, or shall we say 'attached', to this Community?

[structuraldefect]

Hm? I think so. I feel better than I have been lately.

[yumadbro]

You sound a little...different.

[structuraldefect]

I suppose I must. Don't say I've made people worry...

[structuraldefect]

No, I shouldn't think so.

[yumadbro]

I'm not sure I'd call it 'worried' yet.

[justforyou]

Hehe... [Wow. She likes this guy even more now!] Probably. I mean, if the idiot does something stupid then they deserve whatever comes to 'em.

Sounds like you had a great day today.

[fortheworld]

[so there's no way she can confirm if said superior is dead or not.

Well, it's not as though she could do much about it in any case. Little point even considering intervening in something that's already happened.]

And what do you and your superior do, Mr Kotomine?

[structuraldefect]

{best magical girl friend it is you.]

It's been... almost enjoyable. I don't know if I'd mind having more days like this.

[justforyou]

[One of the youngest members of the Church of Yuetsu?]

It's a good feeling, I think. I know I've had days that certainly put a spark in my life...those are the best days.

[structuraldefect]

Is such a difference in opinion so dangerous that it can't be spoken?

[answerer_sword]

It is not my place to force my opinion upon a superior.

[structuraldefect]

My services are no longer required. Apparently.

[structuraldefect]

Well, I wouldn't be sure, either.

[structuraldefect]

They seem so special precisely for how rare they are.
