Josaiah sits alone in the park, writing on paper on how he feels about Novus and his status as prisoner.
Quote:"So far, my time here is pretty great despite being treated like crap. I wouldn't blame Reex for pointing the finger on me for the deaths of perhaps dozens, but I can see why they're enraged by the truth that I used to to be a Demon Slayer. Thanks to Bastina, I have a change of heart. She told me not to attempt on killing others with terrible bias. I kept that promise. Without her I wouldn't find myself comprehending to be compassionate about the diversity of mages in Novus that managed to make peace with one another. I'm intrigued by this...new discovery. They get along with each other. Holy mages, Occult mages, fleshcrafters. Magics don't matter in this city. I loved it. Nobody was at each other's throats. No needless violence. Only order. What matters is peace, progress, and advancement. Eris opened a doorway for me. I either accept death, or change my ways. I did just that. Now? I see myself loving the place, despite their denizens displaying fear and doubt about my past affiliations. Aurora taught me well, as well as Eld. It's ironic? How I want to learn magic from the place that I supposedly have to destroy. Only to have myself accepting its existence as neutral grounds. It holds a place in my heart. It sheltered many of the people I see as my friends now, despite their hatred towards me. I see them as family. Hopefully they'd accept me as one of their own if that opportunity would ever be reached."
"Thank you for opening my eyes. Astra, Luna, Eris. You mean a lot to me. I may be that annoying prisoner that nobody liked, but I'm grateful for the hospitality. Please, if you read this. Just know that I have no ill thoughts of any of you. You all are my friends now."
Josaiah left a little note on the bench within the park, before heading back to the prison for self reflection.
