"Lunatics? Do you think that they are all lunatics? Why so?" Rick asked upon hearing his words.
"Ah, I consider lunatics all those people who close their eyes to the rest of the world and blindly follow their beliefs. That's something unacceptable for folk such as Atena's folk because we value knowledge a lot, you know? That's why we hate them. I mean, most of us. There are a lot of people that don't know a thing about them, so they can't even hate them."
Rick stopped to note down for a moment as an idea appeared in his mind.
"But... wait a second. That's not the first time that I hear something of the sort. I heard from other people the very same thing, be it about Nocturne or the Ambassadors. They always say that doesn't know a thing about him, or that most people don't know. Why is it?"
The blind man stroked his chin for a while, not because he didn't know how to answer, but rather because he wanted to meditate if Rick was worth the risk.
