The Supreme's Distortion

Heaving a sigh of relief, I circulated my mana and purged the remaining alcohol out of my system, readying myself for a discourse.

For the first time in my life, I had the opportunity to cross-examine my life choices as well, and with how determined Trash Ps was about cultivating, it was obvious that he would be brutally honest and critical of my choice.

Nevertheless, even if I wanted to examine my choices as well, I had to take charge of the conversation and make sure to only discuss what was really important because otherwise Trash Ps would just keep asking questions and the intellectual discourse would turn into a petty argument that he would use to reaffirm his ideals.

I wasn't averse to that if it naturally led to it but I wanted to make myself heard, make sure he really took heed to my words, and understood the reasons behind my choices.

With all that in mind, I asked the first question in the most tranquil voice I could muster,

"Why do you cultivate?"
