"...Heh," Chara hangs their head a little, a smile crossing their face. It's a bitter, tired looking smile.
"I think the other races were....monsters aren't like they are here, from what I've learned. The monsters where I'm from are intelligent, and empathetic, and kind. The humans...it's hard to tell how hostilities started, but it always seemed like the humans feared the monsters, so they hated them, and they tried to drive them down. Because if you're something that sticks out and can be hated, you need to be driven down. It's like what they say about the nail that sticks out, you know?"
They pause. Then take a breath.
"Wizards aren't really different from humans. Not enough to be a different race, at least. They can just use magic. But that was enough to cause distrust, and fear. So it was enough to run down any wizards they could find. Even if they could use magic, they were small in population compared to humans."
"You know what I think about most humans," Chara keeps staring at the wall. "I think most humans want to be afraid of the things they don't understand, so they feel they can justify their hatred. Because there's a part of them that just wants to break anything that doesn't fit their mold. Among humans, I think that deep down there's only one motto that really matters: it's kill or be killed."
