It's this fake story people made up about how babies are born. Parents tell their curious kids that babies are delivered by storks.. who'd ever believe a lame story like that?
Exactly, that's why the story is full of holes and no one could believe it!! They only made up this story since most kids are naive and don't think about stuff like that.. how cruel, taking advantage of the imagination of the young! I won't stand for it!
[ this is like three inches away from being a sailor soldier speech.. ]
[Veronica's not sure what that says about her since she would definitely not have believed it as a child. And she'd ask to weigh a baby. And then she'd plan to catch a stork in order to see how much it could actually lift.
She was a difficult child.]
But surely if they had imagination, they would be able to see that there are holes in the story.
That's not how imagination works though! That's more how logical reasoning works? Anyway, exactly because kids have imagination, they imagine it's possible! Just like how they believe in stuff like the tooth fairy and Santa Claus.
[ Hoping she isn't accidentally helping Veronica out of any illusions here.. but she didn't seem that young anymore, it should be fine!! ]
I've seen a lot of people from really weird places here, but even most of them knew about these sort of things! I thought they were a consistency across different worlds, so maybe yours is just an abnormality.. [ or minako just hasn't met the right people yet, lbr. ]
I could not say if it is an abnormality or not. We cannot get new information at the castle and there is much that I do not know so I am not sure if you should be using my knowledge as indication of what Zerestria is like.
That's exactly like Rapunzel!! I mean, if you wanted to know more about the world, couldn't you just have left the castle and gone out there to see what it's like among the people? [ That's exactly what Minako's own handful of a princess was like, after all.. ]
Rapunzel is the story of a girl with very long hair who lives in a tower with a witch. I lived in a castle. My hair is long, but not long enough to use as a ladder. There were no witches either, nor was I named after a vegetable.
And I could have left. It just did not occur to me at the time.
Hey, the small details don't matter, you're missing the point!!
Besides, how come it never occurred to you? Are you saying you were so perfectly fine with living so far away from everything and everyone that you didn't even think about it? [ Because it sure isn't anything Minako could see herself ever being content with, really. ]
It's just.. I think that if I'd be in that position, I'd be longing for something more if I knew it was out there. I don't think I could stand staring at the same four walls for too long.
I suppose that is because we are not the same person, is that not the case? Personally, I do not mind the same walls, because there is nothing similar about them at all. Each day brings something different, and I treasured them.
But I am not the same as I was one year ago. If it were up to me now, I would not have stayed, because I know now that I can leave, that marriage is not the only way.
Yeah, we're just about as far apart as you can get.
[ She'll admit that one, at least.. especially when the other girl can't even understand something as important as attraction that's going on constantly in Minako's life. ]
At least you're out of your castle now. Even if it's just thanks to the Landlord.
[She was kind of too preoccupied with her quest to save the country to notice something like attraction. She has terrible priorities, obviously.]
There is that, at least. Although I hardly think I would thank him. Perhaps the next time he gives us gifts.
[She'd use that opportunity to send him back his cookies, bottles, keys or macarons or whatever he sends her. Have fun simultaneously growing bunny ears, sticking to walls, speaking in Yiddish and falling in love with a zombie NPC, Landlord.]

[ A place both without imagination and without sex ed.. Minako's not too sure how to feel about this, really. ]

It is a country named Zerestria. And may I ask why you think it is weird?

[ .. wait, that is the one locked in a tower, right? She's not sure anymore. ]

[For one she'd never been able to grow her hair that long and she hadn't been sold for lettuce.]
The castle is remote and it is difficult for us to receive books, and not many go there either so I cannot get information from them.

And it never occurred to me because everything and everyone I wanted by my side were already there with me so I never thought of leaving.
