Alternite Kana seeks comfort from a Laughing God

Unui 'Alt' Kana

Kittysamma... if the real Kana had lived, would she be happier than me?

Kittysamma

Compared to where she is now, yes. Compared to you, no.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

I have faint memories of hurting people. But I never did, and never would...

Kittysamma

Those are not your memories; they're this world's Kana's memories. A side effect of you moving in after she departed.

Kittysamma

You want permission to exist. Can't give what I don't issue.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

Right. Outerversal cat doesn't do refunds on stolen lives.

Kittysamma

But I'll tell you a secret: the original Kana? She thought little of her parents and enjoyed making the lives of other kids miserable.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

What?

Kittysamma

In a way, her slipping into the river was just karma coming to collect. Me giving you her body was just the perfect cover to get you here safely.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

That's... that's horrible... And it makes sence the other kids' reactions to me... being nice...

Kittysamma

Horrible miracles are my specialty. Try not to drown in the shallow end of existence, replacement girl.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

I can't believe I'm finding comfort in cosmic sadism.

Kittysamma

Look at it this way. She wasted her life in terrible choices. You get to play on New Game Plus.
