do you suppose it is ever truly possible to escape the circumstances of your birth?
to escape destiny?

better than the people who raised me, huh

it's a low bar, to be honest, but i think i still have a hard time clearing it

[ Rin relates to the advice, at least. This certainly sounds like someone speaking from experience. ]

It's not easy. Genetics make it harder.

What helped me was finding good people I could strive to be like. Moving toward something instead of running away.

i've met one or two decent types here

but there's an unfortunate dearth of them back where i'm from

at least any who'd have a thing to do with me

[antietam]

There aren't a lot of them anywhere. But you might as well take advantage of this clean slate, right?

[imperceptus]

it's not turning out to be as clean as i'd hoped

but i do appreciate your optimism.
