Conditions:

Regular

A busy day, you didn't take the time to discuss the matter with anyone.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Talk to the nobles
At a banquet, you talk about it with your colleagues, eliciting a burst of laughter from them.



Charity is the nobles' way to flaunt their jewels, and the glimmer from those jewels can temporarily fill the poor's stomachs. But do the nobles truly wish to feed the poor? If they did, the next time they want to show off how generous they are, wouldn't there be fewer poor clamoring for that bowl of porridge?



That's what they think. This perspective ripples in your mind.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Talk to the commoners
You condescent to mingle with the commoners and ask how to end their poverty once and for all?



The answers are varied: “Give me money, sir! I want... a hundred gold coins!”

“Marry me, though I have three kids... but they're well-behaved!”

“Make me a noble! I want to earn money without working like you do!”



...You can't tell them that nobles have their own troubles. Right now, your life is divided into [sudan_life_time] days, [sudan_life_time] days, and another [sudan_life_time] days...

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Talk to the priests
You go to the temple to talk to the devout priests, as they most frequent commoners and always appear the most kind and gentle. They smile as they receive your offering and then tell you the best way to help the poor is to deepen their faith. In the eyes of the divine, humans are ranked not by status but by the strength of their faith.



That's what they think. This perspective ripples in your mind.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You pose the question to [s4.name], wanting to hear [s4.gender(his, her)] perspective.
[s4.gender] pauses and tells you the best way to help the poor is to assist the mothers. A mother's poverty is transmitted to her children, and to give her children a better life, a mother will fight like a lioness and be cunning like a wolf.



So it is. This perspective ripples in your mind.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You pose the question to [s4.name], wanting to hear [s4.gender(his, her)] perspective.
[s4.gender] pauses and tells you that to help the poor, the best solution is to elevate their status.

The poor are impoverished because what they deserve is taken by the rich. If the gap between statuses is closed, the poor will naturally reclaim what is theirs.



Perhaps so. This perspective ripples in your mind.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You pose the question to [s4.name], wanting to hear [s4.gender(his, her)] perspective.
Your question elicits a burst of laughter from [s4.gender]. [s4.gender] suggests that instead of helping these useless poor people, one should utilize them, exploit them, treat them as fodder — to liberate them from their unfortunate lives is the real help.

Is that so? This perspective ripples in your mind.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You pose the question to [s4.name], wanting to hear [s4.gender(his, her)] perspective.
[s4.gender] confidently tells you that the poor are poor because they lack skills and cannot teach their children, thus becoming dispensable parts.

Therefore, to help them, they should be taught crafts and skills, making them irreplaceable and necessary. Then they will always have their fill.



Perhaps [s4.gender] is right. This perspective ripples in your mind.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You pose the question to [s4.name], wanting to hear [s4.gender(his, her)] perspective.
[s4.gender] shrugs and casually says that the way to help the poor is to lead them to rob, invade, and deceive. After all, the wealthy and the noble have accumulated their wealth through such means; what's wrong with taking it back?



This perspective ripples in your mind.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You ponder day and night, gradually organizing some vague thoughts in your mind...

Conditions:
