Look About You “Why would they?” Pagan shifted in his seat. “Are you truly so blind to human ambition and the effects of emotion? I believe Mr. Maxwell wished to learn what he could of the culture of a young man he sought to understand better. He was and is basically alone in this world, with few friends and no blood family. Perhaps he thought he might himself adopt the Chang clan as a family for himself? No? Well then, you should take the matter up with him.” “I… I suppose it might be… possible.” He had given up on trying to understand Duo’s motivations. “Indeed.” Pagan murmured. “It does not explain Milliardo though.” “Does it not? Look about you, Chang Wu Fei. Look at the building, the countryside, the city. Recall where you are and the past that lives and breathes here. If anyone would understand what it is to lose everything to the vagaries of war, would it not be Milliardo Peacecraft?” The Sanc kingdom had been lost and his family decimated by war. Though there had been no official war at the time it was the forewarning of what was to come. Ambitious people had watched and determined to eradicate the pacifist movement and in the doing had come close to destroying an old culture. In many ways Sanc seemed a world apart from the countries of Earth and the call to peace had been attracting attention, both wanted and unwanted. After the massacre the King’s children had barely survived to grow to adulthood and each in their own way had challenged the war machine that had torn their lives asunder. “I see.” “I think you may be beginning to see and for now that will suffice, but there is more to see than the obvious.” For a long moment he considered the old man. “If I spoke to Milliardo, he would help me establish a place for the survivors?” “He would.” “I do not wish to resign.” Wu Fei slumped in his seat. “I did not wish to be the Chang but I see there is no escaping the responsibility of blood.” “There is no escaping responsibility of any kind but that does not mean you can not live within it. My report on your people who survive is on the disk beneath the tray cloth. I suggest you read it before making any decisions. You may be surprised at what you learn.” Pagan rose, bowed and turned away. “Pagan.” “Mr. Chang?” “Thank you.” “You are welcome, Sir.” Alone, he considered the tray and whether or not he really wanted to see what was on the disk. Pagan had provided him with much to think on and he was hardly sure where to start. There were others. Others who perhaps were not so fortunate as he to have found a place where he was accepted despite his differences. End
