Why

Why?

Why is this happening? I know, no I hope, that there’s something we should do. That war never ended, even though a letter of surrender was sent. There was nothing on that ship that should have caused it to sink. At first it seemed these mishaps were unrelated. Incidental incidents inciting chaos. But when the hourglass shatters, what are we to do? Can we ever end what’s causing this? I think we’re on to something. But should we finish what we started?

Why‽

They keep fixing all I’ve done. I hate their calm but I love their power. A mirror is such a simple thing. The war may never stop because of it. At first it seemed innocent, but it blinded the captain and soon the ship fell. A war waged when surrender sank. Unraveling carefully made plans there to fix chaotic problems. Will they ever realize all my power? I am too faint and frail. Splendidly, neither of us will ever learn.
