THE FLAME OF HOPE
Artist: Hammerfall - Song: Heart's On Fire
"mm, the one difference, mentally, between a Hollow and a Human is that a Human knows what they are doing, and still decides to do it. A Hollow is driven by instinct and a lack of moral understanding. As shown when they become Arrancar and Vasto Lorde, and can make the active choice not to hurt people. Like Yaksha and Nelliel. Also, not quite, no. This body was made to copulate and give birth to highly advanced biological organisms like myself. I decided that devalued my tremendous awesome and set about killing everyone between me and the door. They took exception to that, and now we got a whole, cat and giant bringer of catastrophe thing going on. They've yet to learn I am not something they can handle"
Then came the next bit of anti-hollow propoganda. That somehow, choosing not to do the wrong thing, was bad.
"Is that not the definition of Goodness? That you can see Evil and decide on a different path? If a Hollow can see that their instinctive desires will lead to a bad ending, and actively strive to avoid it, does this not make them human in thought? Every being wrestles with the instinct to take, to use one's strength to gain what they want, to look after themselves beyond any shade of morality of legality. The greatest, most noble being on Earth is one tragedy away from becoming a creature.
And humans can take your life away. Unless you are supernaturally strong, one bullet between your eyes kills you as surely as a Hollow taking over your body. They are dangerous, yes. But so are humans. You can't judge your Inner Hollow for it's existence, and not judge Humanity for it's existence in the same breath. Hollow are not rapists, paedophiles, drug-dealers, vandals, racists, or those who cripple another for the fun of it. A Hollow will not torture and humiliate you to make you a more malleable person, a Hollow will not raise a child to have a tool for their own use. A hollow will not make children into soldiers because they know you will hesitate to kill a child. They will not knowingly spend years brainwashing a child so they may gain sexual favours. There is no wrong a Hollow can do that a human has not already done a thousand times over. So to so harshly judge them while not harshly judging others, is not something I can condone"
Ulv then looked to him, and saw his experience. Which she found pretty tame actually, in comparison. "Mmm, I can't show you my memories like that. Maybe some sort of Tulpa power that I need to develop. Maybe I can condense it into energy and insert it into your brain, but that sounds risky. I don't underestimate the violence of Hvit or any other. I just don't judge them for it. Because it is not a unique feature. Nor is it wilful. An accidental bullet will kill you as surely as a vengeful one, but the reason why that bullet is fired is very important"
And then there was a smile, and the air was warmer. The bitter taste of such topics seemingly fading away like an ice-cube in summer heat.
"As for the Resurrecion, no. I've never really gotten that far with Hvit. I was focused more on making sure me and her were properly situated, energy-wise, before trying anything like that. I will never control her the way some do, but at the same time I don't need to fear her ever trying to take over my body, since it is as likely as me taking over my body. I do have cool tricks though" Ulv then released her Noble White Fangs. There was a very intense amount of Hollow Reiatsu, mostly because Ulv was keeping it restrained to this balcony to not red-line sensors across Japan. The boots themselves were dangerously packed with power, and it felt like merely touching them would cause the energy to explosively escape.
"I got this, as a big form. I feel it's something near the power of a Resurrecion, and something to jump off"
