I can't believe you just said this. I mean: "get over it?" Really? The implication about what the dimension eater did seems to be on an even worse level than Pearl Harbour, or 9/11. We still don't know who did it, so it's highly possible that Windermere didn't do it to themselves, especially if that was where their own Protoculture ruins were. This is a people that feel everything with their runes, so can you imagine the pain they might have felt? And you're telling them to just "get over it?"

I said in in my last post and I'll say it again: I honestly think you need to stop thinking about what you would do, and actually think about how things appear from Windermere's perspective.

Knowing what I know of Japanese domestic politics and how progressives like Kawamori probably think about Japan's post-war, I highly doubt that.
