@MeiraEve There is magical oxygen (Aether) and magical Carbon dioxide (Terre).
The air is filled with Aether that spreads out and slowly turns to Terre. Without Aether, there would be no life. When Aether runs low, Whale would be like a tree that (secretly) turns Terre back to Aether.
Unlike normies (pft), the MC probably breathes in Terre so when the Whale converts Terre back to Aether, she suffocates.
@Legion499 Nobody gave you any "Friendship is Magic" reasoning. I pretty much said the same thing as them (especially Sarah2013). The only difference is that I phrased it as "practical empathy".
As in, while they say they do it purely because of empathy. I say they should do it to warn the many MANY ultra morons (there are normal careless/unaware people too but lets ignore them for this argument) that insist on subjecting themselves to self harm especially since there is nothing too bad about an extra line of warning while following the laws of a paranoid nutter.
That one line won't harm you or anybody that doesn't care.
That one line would "save" the people that DO care.
The one line would harm even more sensitive people. < but fk them since they are going to suffer anyway without the warning.
If anything, my explanation should be worse compared to their so-called "Friendship is Magic" because "self-harm morons" probably don't deserve empathy.
For the record I DO care about others. If I didn't I wouldn't bother giving my opinion to begin with. I don't believe you can raise a kid to be any definition of "strong" if you sugar coat and baby them their whole damn life. They can only end up being weak, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Which is how we get ppl who think they need these redundant warnings to live their life to begin with.
Now while this tough love thing would probably work and I am not going to argue about the methods. That being said, this is Mangadex. I'd like to believe places like these are for people to "relax" and "unwind". Not experience tough love or mental training.
