Eutopia - I

What is the purpose of life? This question has never had a definitive answer. 

From their own perspectives, everyone offers a different response, thereby making it impossible to understand the world from another's viewpoint, and consequently, to comprehend why others make the choices they do.

Take Ravenna, for instance, who could not fathom why these farmers had so readily altered their demeanor. 

The cruelty and madness they exuded moments ago now seem like mere illusions, the blood splattered on them akin to playful graffiti, and the daggers in their hands no more threatening than children's toys. 

Witnessing all this, Ravenna deeply felt their sorrow, ferocity, rage, and the relief of achieving their goal.

Emotionally, Ravenna sensed their resolve arriving here: to kill Laurel, indifferent to the consequences.
