"Angels only know virtue - goodness. Demons only know sin - evil.
Yet humans have the capacity for both. Virtue and sin. Good and evil.
Of course, it is no secret that there is more sin than virtue in the world.
Having been placed in this world for an indefinite amount of time, us humans live our short, temporary lives in pursuit of satisfaction. Our mortality draws us closer to temptation. Our temptation draws us closer to evil. And evil draws us closer to personal satisfaction, at the cost of those around us. Thoughts of selfishness and harm are inevitable within a lifetime.
Yet, that may very well be the greatest strength of a human.
The best people aren't those who are ignorant of the world, who grow up knowing nothing but good - those are the people who will be corrupted by evil the moment they are exposed to it.
No.
The best people are those who know evil, who understand all the evils of the world,
yet choose to do good regardless."

Well, with that over and done with, where should I start? I guess I like all kinds of anime, never really try to limit myself to any one genre, though my absolute favourites apparently seem to be deconstructions of genres or tropes~

Very well, I offer you my hand now. Go on, take it, Caren. Take it, and show me what kind of daughter exists behind those alluring eyes of yours.
It is not often that I say this, but thank you for the support. It is good to know that I have a few friends left on MAL to come back to after so long, and I am grateful to hear that you have accepted me as your father.
As to your dilemma, I don't think there is anything for me to worry about. I have already suffered a very unfortunate and painful accident for many years now. Her name is Caren Kotomine
How about a third option: that you give your dear old daddy a hug?
Hello o.o
How cute you once were...
Clearly you have not realized the extent to which this chosen name for you is sublime.
Family loyalty should take priority, as you know.
Fufufu, show these peasants who's the real queen here ヾ(・ω・。)シ
I'm pretty much okay, but I'd rather save this discussion for later orz
It's nice to see you again though, I hope you're doing well~
-glomps-
I appreciate that you've followed in my footsteps by ascending to captaincy, but you may need to rename yourself "SuperCaren" now.
