      "Calamity Self." "Shadow." These words have been going around a lot lately, haven't they? I'd be interested in talking to heroes that have already chosen to face these so-called versions of themselves, and what exactly it entailed.

Did you truly consider this other you your "shadow" self? And what exactly did that mean to you before you faced it? Did your feelings change after meeting with them?

I ask because, well... I wonder how easy it was for some of you to determine which is the shadow, and which is the light.

      Talking? That was it? Like you, I suppose I also expected something different, Ales. I didn't imagine anything called a Calamity Self would be satisfied with a chit-chat about how things have been going in this world and outside of it, but that seems to be what's happening here.

I admit part of me is curious however... why is it you say you don't know what you'll do after this. Isn't the point of confronting your own "shadow" to be able to gain the power to fight against the Calamity's suffocation?

Midna:

It was very convincing.

Like talking about things I really didn't want anyone else to hear.

You're right in that I have a better feeling what I should do to prepare myself for the final confrontation, but that doesn't mean I know how to do it. Acceptance is not the same as action.

In my case, I have to trust other people, and apparently I didn't have the right kind of faith in myself. How the hell am supposed to fix that right away?

      Convincing... hmm. I'll take your advice, Ales. And allow me to say, if it's the case that you have things about yourself you want to change, I'm sure that once you put your mind to it you will come up with a solution that suits you best. Trusting in others is no easy task, nor one that should be taken lightly however...

You have always struck me as more of one of the more intelligent "heroes" brought to this world. Take that any way you like, since the competition isn't very promising, hee, but I'm sure that of anyone, you will be able to conjure the results you seek.

Midna:

It's difficult being proud of my intelligence when comparing myself to anything is laughable. But the Heroes here are generally smarter than those in my world, I'll say. I was a bit surprised the ones in the room didn't all attempt to skewer me halfway through. Granted, it must be difficult for Sephiroth to target something so small with that gigantic sword of his.

I think December will be a time for me to relax and think about what to do. Come the new year, I'll get back to work like usual. Only better.
