Practical Philosophy, Monday

[endsthegame]

The weather had improved, at least in terms of temperature, and the clouds overhead didn't look like they were going to burst. So Ender had directed his class to the lawn again, where he sat in the grass with the bag of sandwiches by his side.

"So," he said, "How do you feel about the future now?"

That was all.

"And you agree with that?" Ender asked quietly.

This time, Sholeh didn't let herself look anywhere but at Ender. "I used to. It made sense to me. Outsiders are dangerous. But now...now I don't think so. Not just because of love..."

She frowned, trying to articulate concepts grown hazy from over the weekend. "We go out into the world and need to be part of it. That includes loving and being loved in all the forms love takes. We have to do that, for Tryadnea's sake. But to be punished for it, to be considered broken and wrong, to lose your sis--siblings. That's wrong."
