>Adler: Right-right. Your new mentoree. Is that a word? You can make it one when you're emperor. That was quick. Alright, let's review.
>Rebecca: Quickly sum up everything you've read so far. At first it sounds like you're grasping the basic concepts, but in your usual way you misinterpretation everything with a dark and wicked edge. You believe Fuma is a dark, bloodthirsty goddess of violence and carnal desires and you believe the harmless japes are meant to cause chaotic ripples that create much more evil and chaotic outcomes further down the line. Like the butterfly effect.
>Adler: Butterfly what now?
>Rebecca: The Butterfly effect. It's like how something small creates a series of events that are much bigger later on. Like how a butterfly flapping its wings causes hurricanes on the other side of the world.
>Adler: . . . Have the lowfolk managed to weaponize their butterflies now too? You'll need to look into this later...
>Adler: Try to suggest to Rebecca that maybe she is over-analyzing things. Maybe, instead of doing mental somersaults to see things in a very specific way, she try to see things as they are right in front of her. Perhaps instead of thinking the author of this book is trying to cause mass chaos through inches, perhaps he is just having some harmless fun that both he and the recipient can laugh over. Also, why on earth does she think Fuma is blood thirsty?
>Rebecca: Because she is a goddess of war.
>Adler: Well... uh... You... There's more to it than that...
