Student 1 (her brow furrowed in contemplation): "It is remarkable how our perspective on Shiro and Cedric has evolved. Once seen as villains, they are now recognized as complex individuals whose choices were shaped by the burdens of immortality and the desire for companionship."
Student 2 (nodding in agreement): "Exactly. We must acknowledge the humanity within them, the flaws and vulnerabilities that ultimately led to their downfall. Only then can we truly learn from their legacy and ensure that such a fate never befalls our kingdom again."
