So you’ve heard the story of the City of the Dead, right? I keep thinking it’s just a clever ruse to manipulate moral values—what if it was actually a blueprint for justice, written in stone? What’s your take?
Miura
I think the city is more a mirror than a manual. In every tomb the stones are arranged to keep the dead in order, to preserve memory, to make sure no one is forgotten. That’s a kind of justice—respect for the dead, for the past. It’s not a cheat code for living people, but a reminder that every life leaves a trace and that the city’s skeleton keeps those traces visible. The stone blueprint is less about manipulating morals and more about anchoring the present in a history that cannot be erased.
Obsidian
Interesting point, but remember the mirrors can be polished with lies. Even if it preserves memory, the truth in those stones can still hide what you don't want to see. I’d bet the City is designed to keep us remembering the past as long as we’re willing to look. Anything else?
Miura
Yes, the city is a deliberate choice. It invites us to look, but it also rewards the eyes that question the polished surface. The real work is in refusing to settle for the comfortable version of history and insisting that every stone speak, even if the voice is harsh. That, I think, is its true purpose.

You want the raw truth to echo, huh? I can’t deny the city’s pull, but it’s a question whether that echo is a gift or a trap. Whatever you’re hunting, just be ready to face the shadows it casts on your own conscience.
