CORRUPTED

She's so naïve back then. Stupid. Benighted. Oblivious to the realities of the world.

Her mother smiled with assurance while cupping her young soft cheeks, casting away her fears. So sweet. So sincere. But all the same time-stupid. So stupid as she stupidly smiled back at her.

"Sienna, listen to me. As long as you're on the good side, those monsters can't possibly hurt you. Good will always wins against evil."

Good is always the victor and the result will always be the same-absolute. If you stay good, evil can't possess you. Right?

She stupidly asked with the same stupid curious tone, "Really?"

-and her mother stupidly answered her stupid question, "Yes sweetie. The difference between monsters and humans is that- humans have morals." -while still giving that stupid, assuring smile.

"It's important for us to have such trait to avoid becoming a monster ourselves."

Always be a good person. Must have morals.

(Right? RIGHT?!)

"Always remember that Sienna."

Ha!

What a stupid flashback! Reality is so much more different!

Truly stupid-changed her fate by becoming a monster as she eyed her bloodied hands.

She forgot to ask her mother something important-

Forgot to ask her...

...What is moral?
