Of course. So, your brothers are farmers? Is your mother around?
[He looks kind of sad, but smiles anyway.]
My family has barley fields. Mom goes out to help too. I'm the only one who doesn't have a Calling yet, so I stay here with my grandparents after school, and my sister helps with the housework.

You are eager to find something meaningful to do with yourself?
Forgive me if I assume too much, but it sounds to me that you wish to do something important, to support your family. Is that what you mean by a "Calling"?
[He stares at him for a moment... then he shakes his head.]
I want to be a swordsman. Like Bercouli the Hero. But the Village Elder decides them, and everyone gets the same Calling as their parents.

Is that so... but you do not have to do what the Village Elder says, you know. You can be a swordsman if you are determined.
B-But that's not true! The Taboo Index says--
| Yes, the Taboo Index says! And so, now you feel a sharp pain behind your right eye. Blood red color covers your vision. The sensation of your limbs fades.

--gh!
[fox clutches a hand over his eye, pained, and doubles over]
The... Taboo Index... will even overwrite your free will? Your hopes and dreams?

I'm turning 10 in two years, so I'm getting my Calling soon. Everyone has dreams, but if they can't come true, there's no point...
[hesitantly approaches]
Are you okay, Mister Fox...?

[slowly rises, still holding a hand over his eye, his nostrils flared but he's trying to stay calm and breathe]
... I will be fine. Thank you, Eugeo.
... I will be fine. Thank you, Eugeo.
Do you need to sit down? We can go back, I can tell my sister to come.
It's alright.
But, Eugeo... even your dreams that do not come true are meaningful in some way.

It may seem that your life is set in stone, but... it is yours, and no one else's to take away from you.

Um... I think it's better if you sit down...

My apologies. I think perhaps... I should leave. I do not wish to cause you or your family any trouble.

Ah...
My grandparents like it when people visit... Do you want to say goodbye to grandma?

Yes, I would.
If you don't mind escorting me?

[he nods! Still worried, though. He won't be walking too far from Fox until they're there.
Grandma is falling asleep again... Sol goes to her side and shakes her shoulder softly.]
"Is it time, dear?"
"Grandma, Fox has to go."
[She looks up at Fox again, smiling, and ruffles Sol's hair again. He closes his eyes, clearly used to it.]
"Thank you for visiting my grandson."

Thank you for having me. I regret that I will not be able to eat your delicious pie, but perhaps another time.

[She smiles and stands up, intending to see to her pie. Sol looks between her and Fox, torn...]
"Go with him, Eugeo."
[Sol nods, and goes with Fox like a good boy. He glances up at him on their way back to the first room.]
"Are you sure you're okay?"

I am alright. I only fear that my presence here has caused you some undue trouble.
[leans down and whispers to eugeo]
I am defying the Taboo Index.
