minish's change

Minish and Cirrus

- Minish talks with Elysian about the Bisharpite, how she is pleased to see Elysian has something unique like that. However, Elysian asks Minish if she found her Mawilite, and she says she decided on not having one. Elysian is confused and told Minish that she could have anything she wants from the Sky Castle, and she doesn't want to recover back to her old self? And Minish says that's exactly what she doesn't want. She doesn't want an 'old self' she wants a 'new self'.

- Minish then walks over to Cirrus and asks if she could complete the conversation with Cirrus from before, which is about Swablu guardians.
- Cirrus listens intently, even though she was a bit relunctant to respond.
- Elysian didn't want to join in the conversation because it wasn't any of his business, but he listened.
- Minish says her purpose and how she's seeking it, and believes Cirrus is the answer. Cirrus blushes in silence, knowing that Minish was looking for love. But Cirrus responds that she can't be Minish's answer, because she has no future with Minish.
- Minish asks Cirrus why. And Cirrus says she's completely aware of Minish's path with Providence, they have to kill rather than choose to kill.
- Minish tells Cirrus if she's afraid to kill. And Cirrus says Minish misunderstands, and that Cirrus believes in giving freedom to other people. That's why she became an alchemist.
- Minish then says giving Catharsis freedom has a price, and that's to kill other people.
- Cirrus is silent.
- Minish asks if she was serious in her words that she would be captivated in ugliness, and now that she sees the ugliness, where is Cirrus's truth. Minish then asks if Cirrus was just interested in the beauty in the ugliness then. And that the ugliness didn't matter to her.
- Cirrus says ugliness tends to be captivating to others if they are ugly themselves, but Cirrus wants to understand more than just ugliness. It's about changing it. Rather than just pure darkness, she wants to be captivated in changing the ugliness to a special beauty. She is only captivated by darkness so she could change it. And she knows she can't change it to pure beauty. What she can change it into is light and darkness.
- Minish asks how would she change it when darkness doesn't want to change.
- Cirrus then says it's about inspiring the love and freedom in the darkness to make them change, for themselves to die a bit inside and to have something unique.  Cirrus notices that Minish is a curious person, and that curiosity is what will bring her into the special duality.
- So Minish thinks for a bit and asks Cirrus she can't come along?
- Cirrus says the Sky Castle needs her and even if she were to help Cirrus find a Swablu partner, it'd take a long time to process through the trials. Considering that Minish can't just bring any Swablu to join her, the Swablu has to become close to Minish first. She has to get to know the Swablu.
- So Minish is stuck with a decision to leave Providence to live in Sky Castle or not leave it and continue to stay with Providence. Minish asks Providence what do they think of the idea of her leaving Providence.

- After everyone gives Minish their answer, Minish thinks to herself a bit and comes up with her resolve from everyone's answer. Even though she's not willingly to take another's answer, she is willingly to hear everyone's words. She makes her conclusion. She claims that she has the choice of staying at the Sky Castle to be free from Catharsis's problems and exist in freedom. Or she can go with Providence to live a life of searching for freedom, and creating freedom for others. She says she decides that it's best for her to stay with Providence as she isn't interested in a life where she is not searching for more purpose, because she doesn't like the idea of being content and lacking any drive to do something with her purpose.

Minish changes from interacting with Cirrus by hearing what Cirrus says to her, which is "I have faith in your aberrations, Minish." and Minish knows that Cirrus entrusts her with the purpose of flying. Cirrus tells Minish that her team is a part of who Minish is, and that they are more than just people who work with Minish. They share a connection and that connection allows Minish to take hold of the sky. Minish realizes how important Providence is and then comes across one conviction that changes Minish entirely... Cirrus then tells that Providence will likely die someday, and that hatred may overpower Providence.

The future of Providence is full of death, and that they don't really need Minish. Minish can be just another fodder who died without meaning. Cirrus says that Minish may end up dying without any meaning. Minish hears what Cirrus had to say and then Minish decides a heartfelt conviction: Minish will change for Providence. She shouts to herself in front of Elysian and makes a commitment to be who she truly is, despite Providence's absolute cruel fate. Minish becomes more kind, devoted, dainty love. She stops manipulating Providence. She becomes a whole new person because of Cirrus.
