Charity: So....


Elizabeth: You... you dare call me “lizard-breath?”


Charity: Why do I have the feeling that my characters have been getting angry with me lately?


Elizabeth: You dare call me “lizard-breath?!”


Charity: Look, I didn't call you “lizard-br”-


Elizabeth: Don't give me that! You're the one who wrote the story, you have control of what happens.


Charity: My characters from The End of Chess appear to be very unstable. Perhaps it's because I wrote it over a period of five years? Or maybe because I wrote it during a time when I myself was most likely rather unstable.


Elizabeth: Don't ignore me!


Charity: Yes. Probably it's because I was so young when I wrote them. I forgot to give them a free will. I had too much control. The characters are the ones who write the story. The authors are only the ones who create the characters and guide them on their way. But once a character is created, they shouldn't be manipulated or controlled. Otherwise they lose their sense of individuality.


Elizabeth: You're still ignoring me!


Charity: Ah, well. If only I had known back then....


Elizabeth: Hey!


Charity: Yes?


Elizabeth: … Nevermind! I don't want to talk to you anyway!
