Historically, we know that there was much persecution among non-magicals based on race…isn’t this almost the same thing? When they were forced to recognize those difference and live among each other, sure, there were a lot of riots and fights, but things did get better.”
She paused for a moment to collect herself.
“People have been saying lately that in a perfect world we could coincide. But, the reality is, there will never be a perfect world. Do we really have to hide forever?”
Hearing what Kurumi just said, Helena turned around again. "
About the prisoners... thing, you have a point here. I mean... we always have to hide our magical abilities. But maybe it's for the best. Some muggles could be so curious,"
even I am, "
and they just wouldn't let it go until they had magical abilities for themselves. I mean... never." She stopped for a few seconds to breathe. "
My point is, I think it's better this way, to hide ourselves. Or just... our special part."
