Book 3: Epilogue

[keep watch] Gossip Found While Analyzing News From Around the World [from the ghost cat]

Forcibly connecting unrelated events and viewing them as a single whole is the stereotypical starting point of a conspiracy theory. I do not normally recommend it, but it can be a surprisingly effective way of grasping the truth if you make sure to maintain a proper level of literacy.

Lately, people are caring less about other people. When someone is arrested for stabbing someone or stealing something, their candid motive is often quite shocking.

And this does not just apply to criminals.

Take for example the Colosseum that the Bright Cross Disaster Prevention Foundation ran underground. Then it changed form into a publicly-run nonhuman mixed martial arts tournament under the same name. Its easy for the TV viewers to say that they didnt know or that they were deceived, but is that really true? If they cared more about the pain of others, wouldnt they have noticed sooner that something wasnt right?

People as a whole are breaking.

The threshold for killing someone else keeps dropping.

There is probably a disastrous line there too. Once it drops below a certain point, society will collapse. It wont be a disaster, war, plague, or famine. The time will come when people can no longer allow anyone else to be by their side. The hurdle will lower that far. And that will mean the collapse of capitalism, socialism, and all other forms of civilization or society.

That is the Calamity.

You could call it an explosion of awareness.

People cannot live all on their own. And this is not just some ideal. Soft-skinned humans have no fur or claws, so they cannot survive out in nature.

So why do they choose to walk down the path to ruin?

Army ants move as a group, but when their numbers grow too much to maintain the food supply cycle, some percentage of them will actively walk into a river and commit mass suicide to put things back in balance. You could say that the human race has grown more than anything else in history, so are they trying to reduce their own numbers?

This is an outbreak of a disease that must not be allowed to spread.

And the people who are happily enjoying the excitement have already been infected. So 99% of the 130 million people must unfortunately be denied access to that boat.

Meanwhile.

The only ones who can resist the human races extreme natural enemy that disease known as the Calamity are those who could feel anger like normal and attempt to rescue the Archenemies like normal when faced with the Colosseum.

Those are the people we seek. Those are the people with which we can entrust the future.
