While Nadia was utterly confused about what he was trying to say, Mika went on to say with a nostalgic look in his eyes.
"You're the one, who taught me that if we want world peace—if we want a world where harmony exists with no fighting—the first aspect of it is making sure that the people who exist there feel equal amongst themselves."
He leaned back on the bench, looking up at the stars.
"No matter what race they belong to. No matter what realm they came from. No matter what color of skin they had."
"In the world that exists today, if you want peace..."
"...you have to make sure that everyone feels equal."
His voice softened.
"You drilled that into me, Nadia. Over and over."
"Equality. Respect. Seeing everyone as people, not categories. You instilled so many values inside of me about treating everyone as equals."
"And without those values?"
He shook his head.
