: Harmony's method of the strong helping the weak—when encountering things like what happened to Robin—leads to even more harm. This idea feels a bit like fighting violence with violence.
: But a society based on enforced strength doesn't seem much better. Wouldn't there still be similar problems?
: I think, if Sunday really wants to convince me to support him, he should just give me money. I'd support him instantly.
: Whoa, democracy, huh?
: Don't rush. Let's play along with Sunday and see how far his so-called ideals will go...
------------------------------------
At this point, what Sunday wants to express is already well understood by the audience.
First of all, he really loves his younger sister, Robin.
For the sake of Robin, he can even give up his own ideas and turn to support her.
But as he grows older and receives a complete education, Sunday begins to see the world through his own experiences and perspective.
On the surface, Penacony belongs to everyone as a shared paradise, following The Harmony : Xipe's philosophy of the strong helping the weak, but in Sunday's eyes, it is a place full of injustice, where the weak can't even breathe freely.
But Sunday is no ordinary person.
He is someone with a powerful sense of empathy. The "religious" education he received imbued him with a religious nature, carrying a sense of sacrifice and salvation.
Just from this point alone, Sunday is undoubtedly a genuinely good person.
But being a good person is difficult, especially under limited resources and pressure.
A strong person without restraint will only bully the weak.
And a strong person without means will only be harmed by the weak.
Let alone build an ideal social system.
The prayers of Pepeshi and the memory of Robin getting shot are the origins of Sunday's thoughts.
At the same time, he is also a realist.
From the story of choosing the birdcage, and later his reflection on the person who came to the dream by selling his children, Sunday is able to directly see the most fundamental problems.
From the past, he chose to give the weak a chance, until he no longer cared about abstract hopes and possibilities.
For example: birds are meant to fly, and letting the man's alive involves contradictions between different ideas.
After thoroughly correcting his own mistakes and completely reshaping his worldview, Sunday came to a very realistic conclusion:
A utopia.
A society where everyone can live happily requires strong order.
The strong need the constraints of order.
The weak also need the guidance of order.
If the strong are not constrained, situations like the Pepeshi's will arise—he can trample on rules as he pleases, causing irreparable harm to society.
And if the weak are not constrained, they will drag everyone into the abyss.
Robin, as the daughter of the Oak family, is already famous throughout the universe in Penacony.
Wherever she goes, she can be considered a significant presence.
When she holds goodwill to save more of the weak, those weak ones without rules to restrain them will only destroy these hopes with violence, dragging her and others into the abyss with them.
After confirming what was in his heart, Sunday directly realized: Harmony's concept of the strong aiding the weak is fundamentally insufficient to support his grand vision— that is, creating a strong order: to control the strong with strength, to control the weak with strength.
And in the whole universe, the only one who could achieve such an effect was The Order Ena.
So Sunday embraces order. Even without the teachings of the Dream Master, with his personality and environment, this was inevitable.
It was destined.
Just as the Hunt brings destined death to others.
His path was already written the moment he was born.
Now it's simply coming to fruition.
And this information doesn't even need any content creator to explain it to the audience.
It can already be understood through the story, through the performances, clearly and vividly.
...
: The completion of Sunday's character is simply too high.
: Now I can completely understand why Sunday would betray Harmony—or rather, it's not betrayal of Harmony, but that he is naturally inclined to be a vessel of Order.
: It's a pity that Ena is already dead. If it were during that era of order, Sunday would probably have become the Emanator of Order.
: But these siblings are truly extraordinarily gifted—one innately gifted of Order, the other innately gifted of Harmony.
: But since Ena is already dead, and even his Path was swallowed by Xipe, does this mean Order has actually been eliminated, and that the survival of the fittest means the twin Paths are no longer suitable?
...
The audience began to spontaneously discuss Sunday as a character, and on a larger scale, the concept of Aeons.
In the image, after Sunday throws out the idea of Order, he looks sincerely at the crew of the Express and says:
"I know how painful it is when people suffer, how lost they feel when they lose their way, how ideals and wishes seem like shackles."
"All this causes me pain, because this is not true happiness."
"We must teach the weak how to live happily."
"This life is not the refinement that aristocrats like to talk about, but in the absolute sense, it is about placing people where they truly belong."
These words do not receive the approval of those present.
Especially Firefly.
Her eyes are cold, and after Sunday finishes speaking, she straightens up and directly asks:
"Then how do you determine what counts as happiness?"
"Good question."
Sunday calmly gives his own interpretation:
"Human consciousness is essentially an illusion, a prison called self-worth. People are misled by this illusion and make mistakes, but the consequences must be borne by others."
"When layer upon layer of errors fills the crowd and becomes impossible to trace, they form something that seems like a natural law."
"And nature is always accompanied by plunder and sacrifice. Its opposite is called Order."
As Sunday speaks, his gaze starts to lose focus.
But it's not the look of distraction— it's a gaze that presents a state beyond description.
He sincerely no truly feels pain, resentment, and anger for those who suffer and struggle under the so-called law of survival of the fittest.
He urgently wants to change all of this, wants to see the weak smile from the bottom of their hearts, not be saddened by external forces, wants to see the strong stop trampling the weak as if they are nothing, and instead use their power to build a beautiful order.
He hopes that all beings no longer have to face the weaknesses of human nature and make bitter choices. He is willing to bear the burden of those choices for the people, to help them confront the flaws of human nature.
Sunday knows that all of this comes with a cost—those who don't understand will want to kill him, curse him.
But he has long been prepared, willing to pay any price for this, even the price of his life.
"This is exactly what I want to do."
"To bring the happiness of all beings under a single 'order.'"
"Simply describing the idea is still too abstract, so let me give a simple example. Perhaps some of you know about the social systems in a certain world, such as the well-known '2 day week off' or even '3 day week off.'"
"On these hard-earned days off, people are able to escape the crushing pressure of life and return to the peace of their souls."
"And only on such days do people not have to face the law of the jungle and can briefly live 'happily.'"
"But these two or three days are far too short compared to a long life."
At this point, Sunday showed a gentle smile and said slowly:
"In my view, the ideal social system should be a seven-day week off. The day after Sunday would be the second Sunday, the third, and so on, an eternal Sunday—that is the world I want to build, a day of eternal peace where nothing needs to be done."
After he said this—
Not to mention what the express crew or Firefly thought—
The audience exploded.
