[Action A: Around 1766 Beaver Street]

[There is new purpose in Almaz' movements today, in his determination, in his goals and actions! It's hard to say what has come over him, either way he's in his yard training. Training how you ask? With a broom handle and a badly constructed scarecrow.... Seems he has a new fire to try and be a proper hero.]

[Action B: Outside the comic book store]

[Almaz has a bag full of new comics and is sitting on the sidewalk outside the store with his SSP. Seems he's playing some kind of RPG]

Ha! Take that! Two more boss fights and the last crystal particle and I'll get the true ending! And back when this came out people were complaining you couldn't get a good ending for under 300 hours. I'll do it in 150!

So... I was sort of wondering, well I was wondering a few things. First, what does it mean to be a hero? Uh... in your opinion that is. There's a lot of ways to interpret a hero, isn't there? But then if you want to be the savior and true hero hero there isn't that many ways. I guess defining what a hero is is important then.....

Oh! I was also wondering how many people here have video games. Maybe those of us who do could do some kind of swap thing? Because though I have a lot of games And a lot of them unfinished.... it's not like you can just go pre order the next new release....

... Do you want to be a hero?

Of course! Being a hero is one of the best things a person could be. Saving the world, saving people, being an ally of love and justice! It's my dream.

Being a hero means living for more than just yourself. A hero has to be ready to face all sorts of danger and be willing to fight with the tiniest shards of light, even when shrouded with darkness. It means being there for the innocent people who need help the most, defending those who cannot defend themselves and never succumbing to fear, even during the worst of scenarios.

But ironically, a true hero doesn't realize he or she is a hero until everyone else realizes he or she is a hero. Humility is key to being a true hero.

Well, heroes are, by definition, people who can do stuff that normal people can't do. Back in the day, all they had to do was go around beating up monsters and enemy armies. But I guess they should aim to protect weaker people too if there's nothing around to beat up.

So... to be a true hero you can't know you're a hero first?

What if you notice your title upgrade?

What's the point in beating up monsters and defeating enemy armies if it isn't to defend the weak!?

Nope. Hero is a title that has to be given to you by others.

By the time you notice you're a hero, everyone else will already know it, so I guess it's all synchronized like that.

To win glory for yourself and make sure future generations remember your name, of course.

I think I would notice my own stats before anyone else would bother to check on them.

Why would anyone bother giving you glory or remembering your name if you only thought of them second?

"Heroes must offer a helping hand to anyone in need!" That is one of the fundamental oaths of a hero!

Because I did something totally awesome.

[He chuckles a bit.]

Though I do like the way you think. Are you a hero, kid?

A hero is one who puts their own destiny aside so that others may live and achieve their own, or find their own.

A hero's one who uses violence to get his own way, in the name of love and justice. [Okay, he's...not exactly kidding.

...Also he has a few video games too.]

[Hope you don't mind the neighboring lady next door watching quietly with amusement on her porch while going through a cup of coffee, Almaz. She's not trying to hide the fact that she's blatantly spectating too, whether he notices sooner or later.]

... In that case, you're already doomed to fail.

Eh? Why is that?

Doing something awesome, though important, should come second.

[And he pauses, was he? He wasn't sure....]

I... well, I want to be one! My title is sort of missing though....

That's very true. A hero is one who does what they can for others, no matter what.

That....

[Okay he couldn't really argue with that because it was something that happened....]

That's not really a fair statement Mao....

[Share them!]

[He notices rather quickly, and it makes him feel on the spot and well... it doesn't take long for him to choke, miss his "dummy" and end up hitting himself in the head with the handle.]

Well, standards have changed over the years. Back in my day, it was the other way around.

[Huh, this is interesting.]

You don't need a title to be a hero.

I think being a hero means facing things you're afraid of for a good cause, it doesn't have to be a grand gesture.

Why do you ask such things then?

[...

And the redhead spectator chuckles.]

Are you okay? [She doesn't move from where she is, though...]

Are you sure? Because I'm pretty sure the entire idea of a hero is saving others first.

Of course you do! How else would you classify as one?
