Arrogance pure arrogance but the awful thing is it's true. Given no guidance Guardians will go to their own ruin, they will saunter up to Ahamkara and Dredgens and the Winnower itself. (Give them the option to turn all their Ghosts into little black pyramids and half of them would take it.)</span></small><br> | |||
<small><span style="color:#735c99;"> | |||
And we can only lead them if they like us–</span></small><br> | |||

They liked Cayde because he lightened them. Cayde made himself a walking joke because jokes are delightful and everyone will follow a delight.</span></small><br> | |||
<small><span style="color:#735c99;"> | |||
I am not a good joker.</span></small><br> | |||

Cannot know every Guardian. The Tower sees hundreds of thousands of visits a day, you cannot know them all, they cannot know you. So if you are not their friend, then what are you? You have to be an idea, a caricature, a meme infecting their minds. An easily reproduced token of who you are. Shaxx shouts. Zavala fathers. Eris avenges.</span></small><br> | |||
<small><span style="color:#735c99;"> | |||
I do not fit into a joke; I do not fit into a cliché. I thought that was all right: my job is to know what will happen next, to have the paths ready for others to lead them down. If they do not like me, well, I don't always like myself.</span></small><br> | |||
<small><span style="color:#735c99;"> | |||
But now–</span></small><br> | |||
<small><span style="color:#735c99;"> | |||
Do they like me enough to believe me? To believe in me?</span></small><br> | |||
<small><span style="color:#735c99;"> | |||
Or will they rush to someone funnier? Someone more comfortable? Someone who has more to offer than uncertainty and complexity and doubt? Lies are always more comfortable than the truth. Lies can be tailored to fit.</span></small><br> | |||
<small><span style="color:#735c99;"> | |||
I am supposed to be their bulwark against lies, but what if they like liars more than me?</span></small><br> | |||
