Pretty much Title, I would like to know what Quote in question would be and what’s the Idea/Meaning you have of it

I know this might be difficult to grasp so giving my 2 Cents would be:

Charity is power. More charity is more power

From Parvos Granum, my interpretation kinda leans towards the value of Life, being pretty much invaluable (or prohibitely expensive) You cannot buy a Life, but trough Helping (Charity) you can be owed one.

I wouldnt set a Foot in this place for all the Ayatan in the System. You on the other hand

From Maroo, on her Weekly Ayatan Hunt Quest I get a sense that this phrase can be interpreted as a Critique to those willing to do “Anything” for Money. Basically negating to sell your Dignity.

    It hit me so hard when I first heard Mathila said “You all want Happiness, but none of you wants to put in the work.” Don’t call me out like that…

      I actually think the entirety of Duviri is meant to satirise the Orokin, and what they represent in the real world. The dragons are all fables meant to inculcate certain values, and Mathila’s overall theme (and what DE is critiquing) is the idea of “tough love”. Mathila is unempathetic and cruel. I wouldn’t put any stock in her words, or any of the “advice” Euleria gives.

      Holy shit that line hit me hard too, but unfortunately for the wrong reasons

      To elaborate, Im definitely the Happier person of my social circle, despite us all going trough the same things (excluding personals obviously) I never shared a Pessimist thought while they did it quite often and in such Ocassions I also tried to brighten things up or look at the positive if not neutral side

      When we played Duviri together Mathila’s dialogue made me very self concious, im probably a toxic positivity person and my friends had to snap me out of it

        Hey don’t overthink it too much, we all need that friend sometimes. Life is hard and everyone knows it, sometimes it’s good to be reminded of other perspectives.
