I get the impression that those whose genders are considered to have a delicate disposition often are expected to do care work, in other places...

They would, ah, not be wrong, in my case. Though I was...expected to be more ornament than practical.

Though it, ah, is terribly odd that in other places, women are expected to be...delicate...and do care work.

Mm, and it seems very strange things are expected of women? I mean, really, I suppose it depends on how traditional your nation is, at home, but it seems a little exploitative, what I've heard described.

But they're strangely free in other ways...

...a lot of, ah, what is expected of them is...familiar.

Not that I think it's good to treat any gender like that! But it's just really jarring to see people talk about like it's accepted so easily. Like how briefly girl idols are expected to dress.

It, ah...is very jarring, yes.

I was, ah, reading a history book, and it...is just so...[he does not understand]

It all seems very odd, but then again they probably think that about us?

That is, ah, most likely true...

...I was never very good at being like I ought to be, but then again, it doesn't sound so good to be a woman from anywhere else, either.

...it, ah, does not, no...

...except maybe where Cardigan's from? But I get the sense that the balance of power is just centered on other things.

Maybe it's just that power's the problem.

Power and, ah, hierarchy are always the problem...

I... don't mind a little hierarchy, to be honest, because, well, having people to organize others isn't bad, I think.

But also, really, it's hard to find people who use power wisely, isn't it.

It really, ah, is.

Especially, ah, since...

...since what?

...people often, ah, forget, when they gain power.

Mm. Although, I guess I've... never understood it.

I don't know how people could look at the faces of those who depend on them and then turn away.

Too enamored of, ah, power and what power brings to them.

Maybe it's not such a bad thing to be used to not wanting anything for myself.

I think, ah, wanting small things is fine. [hello, biggest hypocrite]

Just the, ah, large ambitions often turn out...poorly.

Probably some of my...

...I don't know that it feels right to call them ambitions. I think I might want some large things, but—just, for the world.

To, ah, make the world better...

...to make the world better.

I just don't... know how, yet.

That is, ah, a hard answer.

And even, ah, a hard question.
