> > > Of course she also lacks that kind of power, and even if she had it, she wouldn't want to violate what she believes is a natural balance. The only exception might be something like the Moderator Saga, but she wouldn't want to stay in charge for long.
> > Even a brief period at that power level leaves its mark and costs its price.
> I guess what makes Chiaki particularly scary in this regard is that she's acutely aware of that price. Which is why she wouldn't want to be in charge.

With great power comes great responsibility.

> It's kind of funny how Liu Xi adopted Chiaki as a model of that. Probably because Liu Xi started to recognize her own failings (temper and impatience) and sees how well the samurai controls both, and gains respect. And even more so considering that Chiaki has no brute force type of power to make anyone do as she wants.

Noted.

> > > Also note that's what would make Chiaki so difficult to put in prison.
> > Maybe we should see that story sometime.
> Sooner than you think, perhaps (there's something that's been on hold a while).

Proceed.

> > The Chronicler doesn't have "explaining" on his job description.
> That's probably why Lara feels he's unfit for his job. The one thing she hates most is when someone tells her, "Do what I tell you because I'm stronger and I'll punish you if you don't". If she has some kind of reason, even if it's incomplete, she doesn't need that. Which is why at this point she's more willing to cooperate with the Hooded Hood than the Chronicler.
> But Lara doesn't want to be his enemy, though. He's trying to make her into one, it seems. She just wants to know what's going on, and perhaps offer help or a better solution.

He's just a guy doing his job. It's how the cops don't bother to explain their reasons to civilians either - especially potential criminals.
