[ kaveh had once thought that no one would understand. it is a culmination of several different causes. it is guilt, it is regret. it is the death of a family member by his own hands, it is the way he had painted the world gray. his mother, then, left, and kaveh allowed her. kaveh lied to her. kaveh had said yes, i will be fine; he had said, no, the eleazar hasn't worsened in years. kaveh had thought, i deserve this.
it is known that eleazar robs. it robs a person of their senses. it robs a person of their motor skills. it robs a person of their identity. kaveh would have been known as the kshahrewar student with eleazar. kaveh's designs would have been obscured by his illness. kaveh's name would have been forgotten. how was he to allow such a thing? kaveh's name would have been synonymous with unattainable.
and so, he proved himself. that he is better than his disease. that he could do his work, and the work of others, and excel greatly in all that he does. he shone, he glimmered, he made himself known. kaveh, the light of kshahrewar. so much more than the eleazar. some had thought he was cured of it. some were sure of it.
he is, ultimately, a sunburst. he burns for others, provides them warmth, but burns himself to exhaustion. he will burn himself into dust, and dust is never remembered. a mark has to be left. and alhaitham, the pride of haravatat, who observes history as it is made, and records it for the future— alhaitham, he begs, please remember me too. ]
The same point that the Akademiya exists alongside the House of Daena. [ kaveh begins, nearly matter-of-factly. ] Books are complements. I will teach you everything I know, but it is within a scholar's nature to seek further knowledge. There is ignorance in relying on a single source of knowledge; otherwise, what basis is there for debate, and what reason would we find in discussion?
[ the sun is warm on his skin, but he cannot feel it. kaveh yawns, nonetheless. ] Don't be so stubborn. I will recommend you books whether you read them or not.
i wish i could print out this tag and hang it on my wall
