106th moon [audio]
To be in accordance with this world's natural laws, a whole half of my heredity should have been removed from my body. The half I inherited from my Lunarian father, to be exact. As there are only two half-Lunarians in the world, I cannot know exactly how it sets me apart from pure humans, but there is no doubt that there must have been something for this land to take away from me.
[Cecil doesn't know why he feels the need to talk about this now. His words come hesitantly, like he doesn't quite know if he wants to keep going.]
...Yet I feel no different, barring the usual loss of magic that even full humans go through. I look the same. I act the same. My skin still does not tan, no matter how much time I spend on the beach. The manner in which I age remains constant even after five years spent in this world. It's as if the absence — or presence, for that matter — of my Lunarian blood is completely meaningless, as far as my life is concerned.
[He stops for a moment, and then here it comes. The true, uncertain confession.]
I... don't know what to think of that. At all.

I experienced something similar, though the changes I expected that didn't come were less physical. It was as though what I was before didn't make any difference.
Though it should have.

[A sigh.]
Then again, we might have been expecting too much. I was unable to tell that I had Lunarian heritage for twenty years, after all.

Who knows what we should have expected.

Or seek their own freedom, if it's forever promised.

I mean, I ain't Lunarian or anything, but I was only ever half-human at most. Probably a lot less than half just before I got here.

[Because that made total sense.]
But when I was still alive, my mother was a human named Dechtine, and my father was a guy by the name of Lugh Lámhfhada--he was pretty much what most people would call a god.

[Just a dead one.]
Your mother was also the source of your human blood, then. Interesting.

Makes you start wondering what you ever really were in the first place, doesn't it?
[video]
I am myself, and most of the time that's good enough. ...But every other Lunarian has left the planet, and my relatives only return in cases of great danger to the world. It's not as if I have many opportunities to ask for details, to compare myself with others.
[video]
[And maybe the day's getting to him too, because after a second he adds:]
I was the first one of my whole species, nobody even knew what I was. And then I was the only one here for years.
[The urge to talk lets up for the moment, and he mutters a curse under his breath before shrugging.]
Not quite the same as your situation, but...
[He sort of gets it.]
[video]
Waiting for others to understand the details of your existence, for more of your species to exist... It must have been terribly lonely. I was lucky; at least learning of my heritage came with a brother and an uncle, even if they soon left.

who cares honestly
[ THAT WAS REALLY NICE, BAKUGOU... ]
I mean... if you think you're a moon people or whatever, if that identity is important to you, isn't that what really matters the most.
(audio)
I don't know if it's important; that's part of the problem. I don't understand what it changes about me, and the people who could make that connection valuable are in no position to answer any of my questions.
