[This is what he's trying to do for Charlie. Help people. She would just seeing someone in need. Frieda seems in need for help. Which is why he's doing this now.]

It sounds like it might be a worthy option. If we can help, do let us know. Salvation is a little beyond what we aim for but I know I'd be glad to assist in any way.

[For only - or primarily - being in it for Charlie's sake, Lucifer's doing a fantastic job!! For a moment, Frieda's mind feels like its swirling. Why did nobody think of this before?! Even King Karl, the one who made the vow she inherited after growing up with disgust for his forebears' violent rule, the one who dissolved his empire once he assumed the throne, could only think of killing them all - and, unable to enact such a deed, chose an isolated exile instead.

Is it not possible..? Maybe the Founding Titan's powers won't allow me to undo itself... but I have to try. I have to.]

I can't help but feel like someone - anyone - should have thought of that over the last century, but... I didn't, either.

[She feels so stupid right now. Were she and the rulers before her really not seeing the forest for the trees? Or was it a compulsion to not consider the option? Already, she can feel some gears in her subconscious moving, but she can't yet tell in which direction, and whether she'll find a new door opening or be thrown into a violent relapse.]

Thank you, Mister Morningstar.

[She feels too overwhelmed to put the full depth of her gratitude into words.]

It is hard to see solutions that exist outside of a box you were taught and lived in. It isn't your fault you didn't see the path. As an outsider, I don't have the enormous weigh you must be carrying on your shoulders. When you are holding the future of your people, your nation, and so many lives, how can you raise up to view all the paths before you?

You are very welcome, Ms. Frieda. I hope you are successful.

[Once again, he is so compassionate and tactful - and there's wisdom in his words, too. Are he and Charlie really demons?! How could humanity ever end up with such a bad image of their kind?]

Before I hang up - how do I compensate you? I ended up taking a lot of your time..!

[dadbeatdad]

Oh. Uh if you feel you must. How does five hundred Mooncoins sound? I think for the time we spent speaking, that is a fair price. If you think so.

[urtitan]

That does sound good! Please invoice me at your convenience.

[Look at how well she upskilled herself from her horse-cart-and-candle home to digital payments!]

I wish you a nice day, and... thank you again.

[She'll certainly reach out to him or Charlie to discuss the matter further at some point, but first, she'll need time to let it settle and to actually explore her options. The power of the titans isn't an intuitive tool at the best of times, not even with the memories of her predecessors at her disposal.]
