"Not everyday do you see a Heavenly Virtue seeking a Deadly Sin of a different aspect. To what do I owe the pleasure of this meeting, Temperance?"

The said Virtue crossed her arms and held Pride's amused gaze with a more serious one. "Don't you think this meeting is long overdue? I had to be the one to seek you instead of you. I know you are aware that Eunsook, Jungkook and Jimin were all reincarnated instead of being erased as they said."

The only Sin left behind smiled, his expression staying calm. "Same as you. And what is your purpose for meeting me?"

She frowned. "Purpose? What else can it be other than their lives?"

"I'm not sure I clearly understand what you want?" He emphasized. "They are living well. Isn't that all?"

She inhaled deeply. "They're living for what? They couldn't meet each other and they will live without knowing each other."

He threw one leg over the other, scrutinizing her. "What's so bad about that? As we both know, they shouldn't meet. This is their new life, after all."

Her lips parted. She thought wrong. He carried different views than her and was on the same side as Humility. What was more, he would be of no help. It was only her now.

"Throwing away their chance at life just because you assume they would have wanted to meet is too self-centered, no?" Pride raised an eyebrow, making her thoughts stutter.

"But..."

"I know you are still shaken about Gluttony, but you must already know how he committed homicide and abuse of power. He was not exactly a person who deserved what you may have wanted."

His words were like poison to her. How could he speak so casually about his fellow member like that? Although he was ruthless, she could not attack back at him because she also understood his logic.

But logic was not the only thing there was.

Logic was not enough to explain existence.

There was white and there was black. There was also gray.

There was no right answer in life.

Temperance regained her composure and challenged his sharp gaze. "So I take it you're against them meeting?"

"Has Humility not told you what you shouldn't be doing? Isn't he your leader?"

She stood up, glaring at him. "I don't care about this hierarchy anymore. I'll do things my own way."

Pride smiled at how she changed after Gluttony disappeared. Or this was how many many years could affect someone. Either way, it was amusing at the least to him.

"And I know they wanted to spend their life together. It should be clear to someone who was close with them." She threw a look of disappointment at him. "Unless you did not care about them."

He watched her walk away, biting his lips in thought. "Two leaders against one but she's not even fazed."

He grinned. "I wonder how she's going to act..."

Fin.
